Trade protection against Zhejiang Enterprises injured stick before experts: positive response

In just one months time, the European Union, the United States, Argentina for China's export seamless steel pipe successively. As the main export base of seamless steel pipe in Zhejiang, hundreds of companies are quite tricky. The US Department of Commerce announced in Tuesday that it would impose 10.36% to 15.78% countervailing duties on products such as seamless steel tubes imported from China, with a total value of about $2.7 billion for the adjustment.　　　　Among them, Zhejiang Jian Li Company was subject to the heaviest tariffs, hurt more than anyone else. A. Be subject to the most punitive tariffs Zhejiang enterprise very hurt very helpless "at present we are not convenient to interview, also do not want to say anything more."　　Yesterday afternoon, the reporter dialed Zhejiang Jian Li Enterprise Co., Ltd. in charge of the telephone, the other side of the voice a bit low, silent for a while, made the simple reply above.　　Indeed, for professional seamless steel tube manufacturers, this is a bad news. According to the relevant information of the U.S. Department of Commerce, located in Zhuji, Zhejiang Jian Li Enterprise Co., Ltd. was subject to 15.78% of punitive tariffs, higher than Wuxi seamless oil special Pipe Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Tianjin Steel Pipe Group Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Chang Baosteel Pipe Co., Ltd., they were levied a tax rate of 14.61% , 10.36% and 11.98%.　　Other Chinese producers are taxed at 13.2%. "15.78% of the high tariffs, left to export enterprises, how much profit?" "The first time you get the relevant information, Zhang Handong, director of the WTO Research center of the provincial foreign economic and trade office, is a bit resentful and does not conceal his worries about the future of the business:" If prices are not changed, it will certainly be a loss; "This problem, put to Zhejiang many seamless steel tube export enterprises. Ningbo a steel pipe manufacturing company in charge of foreign trade told reporters that although the final cut tariffs than the set in September 21.3% has been reduced, but for the enterprise is still a heavy burden.　　　　Nearly 20% of the company's products are exported to the United States, after the start of the average tariff, enterprises export products prices may rise by nearly 20%, market competitiveness greatly weakened.　　B. Blocked of iron and steel investment overheating caused by the foreign market has been hindered, many enterprises have begun to take the "outside" of the expedient, and the domestic steel industry overcapacity will be a serious situation they must directly face. "The next step is a price war, and then a new round of shuffling, small and medium-sized enterprises are more difficult."　　"Wenzhou Superstar Special Steel Co., Ltd., said the head of the financial crisis, the steel industry has been in the supply of excess supply of continuous inventory pressure, at this time frequently encounter trade frictions, so that exports blocked, will be more violent domestic enterprises. In recent years, China has set off a new round of iron and steel investment upsurge, production capacity has been expanding, has become the world's largest steel production power. 2008 China's crude steel production reached 500 million tons, of which 1/4 of the production relative to domestic demand surplus, must be through direct or indirect export digestion. Since this year, the stateAlthough the steel industry has repeatedly been required to increase restructuring efforts to reduce production capacity, but September domestic crude iron production still hit a new high, equivalent to 618 million tons of annual output level, overcapacity contradictions further intensified.　　This contradiction has led to a more intense competition in the steel export market, some steel enterprises to seize the export orders, not hesitate to depress export quotes. "In the context of the current resurgence of global protectionism and the intensification of trade disputes, low-cost competition will undoubtedly handhold, making Chinese steel products mired in trade protection."　　　　"Hangzhou Iron and Steel Industry association related Personage said.　　C. The big stick before the experts suggest positive response in recent years, in Zhejiang's export trade volume to complete the annual increment process, some new international trade investigation ensued. Since President Barack Obama imposed tariffs on tyres imported from China in September, the issue of tariffs has become the focus of relations between the two countries. Anti-dumping investigation of seamless steel tubes in China is only one example of recent Sino-US trade disputes. At present, the United States anti-dumping investigation against China has been more than 10.　　Trade frictions are also coming from countries such as the European Union. "In the financial crisis, the world's economies have been battered, the use of trade protection is also a trade protection instinct, but with the neighbor is not a long-term move."　　Zhang Handong said that he did not agree with some countries in the name of trade liberalism, the practice of protectionism, the European and American economic powers will play a bad "demonstration" role.　　At the same time, experts also suggested that the relevant enterprises should be actively sued, the organization of industry defences, safeguarding the vital interests, to avoid the seamless steel tube exports suffered unreasonable trade sanctions, related enterprises to actively improve product quality performance and value-added, while speeding up the development of emerging markets, to minimize the loss of the United States and Europe　　News about steel Pipe anti-dumping, America's new Tricks of the tire special Insurance case, the United States, the European Union to seamless standard pipe as the representative of the pipe again pain hand, this sacrifice of weapons, is still anti-dumping and levy special tariffs.　　Seamless steel tube is a high value-added steel pipe products, at present our country is the world's largest seamless steel tube production and trading power, 2008 China seamless steel pipe exports 6.09 million tons, accounting for more than 90% of global trade. and increasing exports synchronized development, is aimed at China's seamless steel tubes of trade relief measures endless-this year, September 4, Mexico decided to be native to China's seamless steel pipe anti-dumping case investigation. October 6, the EU ruled that China's seamless steel pipe to the EU industry constitutes a threat to the European Union, decided to levy 17.7% to 39.2% of the final anti-dumping duties, this is the first time in the EU to "damage threat" as a result of anti-dumping investigations, and to take anti-dumping measures.　　Only 1 days, October 7 The United States Department of Commerce decided to China's export of seamless standard pipe, pipe and pressure pipe for anti-dumping and countervailing joint investigation. The US Department of Commerce issued a statement in September this year that China's seamless steel tubes exported to overseas markets were subsidized by the Government and decided to impose 10.9~30.69% penalties on China's imports of steel pipes.Sex duties. At present, the U.S. Department of Commerce has submitted the case to the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), such as the ITC in January next year approved, will be formally implemented.　　The U.S. Department of Commerce did not explain why the tax rate was lowered.　　In such a short period of time, China's exports of steel products have been hit by a lot of wind and rain. According to Hangzhou customs Statistics, the first 3 quarters of this year, Zhejiang Province exports 587,000 tons of steel, down 68.9% year-on-year. ASEAN, South Korea, Africa, Europe and the United States are major export markets.　　Exports to the United States 61,000 tons, down 60.9%, to the European Union exports 41,000 tons, down 78.5%. Experts suggest that, in addition to the relevant enterprises holding a group of positive response, organizational defense, enterprises to actively adapt to explore new markets, to do the East does not light the west.
