New Year begins, the U.S. will re-launch “trade war”, made in China found to impose high anti-dumping duty webbing, but business was due to respond actively to exempt from sanctions.

6, the chairman of the same name with NBA star Yao Ming Yao Ming, Xiamen Ribbon Ornament Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yao Ribbon”) has received U.S. Department of Commerce preliminary ruling sent the results of anti-dumping and was told get zero tax rate. And recently, the company received the same subsidy preliminary ruling.

“Last year in July that the defendant, we are completely ignorant of.” Yao ribbon to follow up the case of Vice President Lu received far more than yesterday, “First Financial Daily” On the Road, an interview, they are the “dual” know nothing about the situation step by step to fight for.

So far, Yao ribbon for the lawsuit has spent more than 200 million yuan, which is an annual sales of just over 100 million is no small business expenses. “What makes the headache is one of the very complex process trivial. Some companies to abandon the respondent, it is estimated that these have a relationship with.” Lu told reporters far beyond.

According to information released by the Ministry of Commerce yesterday, February 6, China announced the U.S. Department of Commerce anti-dumping countervailing narrow ribbon dumping part of the merger investigations preliminary ruling. Two mandatory respondent companies, Yao Ribbon dumping margin to 0, another for non-responding, was found to 231.40 percent punitive tax rates. 13 were eligible for the corporate average tax rate was found to 115.70 percent of the tax rate, other companies are not responding to a national flat tax to 231.40%.

It is because this company has always insisted that it wins the zero-rate success. However, subsidies and dumping the merger case the final ruling is expected to be made in April 2010.

Once the ribbon industry more than 30% of tariff, the United States can not accept clients on basic. Ruling a means in addition to Yao ribbon can continue to enter the U.S. market, other companies have all been the high rate of webbing blocking the door.

Experts advise, textile and garment industry may become the year the United States “dual” survey spot, the industry should deal with them.

Five months of hard fighting

July 9 last year, Pennsylvania has a 65-year-old passenger Ao Furui than prestige, together with its wholly owned subsidiary company lion ribbon company to the U.S. Department of Commerce applied to the narrow ribbon on the Chinese-made anti-initiated anti-dumping subsidy investigation.

July 23, 2009, the United States to make this decision of case, which is launched on Chinese textiles since the first “dual” survey, is the post-quota era to take on Chinese textiles since the first trade relief measures.

Thus, the original is not in the textile industry was concerned about being pushed to the small type on the cusp. China has 15 companies participated in the ribbon this respondent. According to the United States and chose the industry exports to the U.S. export volume ranking first and second representative of the Chinese enterprises as mandatory respondent. Yao Ming is ranked one ribbon.

Yao Ming was established 5 years, but nothing prepared for this ribbon.

“In the business sector and the textiles under the guidance of the Association, we clarify the ‘dual’ concepts and procedures, as to whether it can win this case, it is not the end in mind. High cost, or secondary, The key is winning probability. domestic enterprises since 2005, received a similar anti-dumping lawsuits are many successful rate is only You Sancheng around. “LU far exceeds told reporters,” We visited Fujian Some have been involved in anti-dumping furniture, shoes and other enterprises, to take learn. learned is that if the respondent to have the opportunity to secure a low rate, rather than the respondent, will completely lose the U.S. market. ”

Balance, Yao decided to fight this hard battle ribbon, the United States is its largest export market, sales of around seven million U.S. dollars, accounting for 60% of total sales in overseas markets more than once was lost, will be hit.

In Shanghai, a law firm with professional experience under the guidance of Yao Ming started with the U.S. Department of Commerce Ribbon “war.”

In order to prove their innocence, they must fill out the questionnaire a lot of the United States and to provide relevant information. Responding to the heavy work, beyond the imagination of this enterprise. From order, proforma invoice, commercial invoice, packing list, factory orders, bills of lading, and both China and the United States Customs declarations, and even letters between the company and its customers from such situation must be submitted. A lot of data to be checked one by one, work is very tedious, but also can not have any accident, will be lost.

Months of effort paid off finally in exchange for an initial victory. But unfortunately, the initial victory of victories Yao ribbon, but not together with colleagues to share.

The two companies funk

That the United States to China Ribbon “dual” preliminary ruling, Beijing law firm partner of small Yun Chang felt very upset, he was 15 enterprises involved in a business attorney.

“Originally, we work pretty smoothly responding, but because of abandonment of the two sample surveys of enterprises and drag, was to impose high anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Now, my client has been unable to enter the U.S. market.” Zhang Yi yesterday told this reporter.

Chang referred to two companies that together with Yao Ming ribbon was chosen as the mandatory respondent U.S. countervailing tree Zhangzhou Changtai Wing Textile Co., Ltd., and ribbon, together with Yao Ming is selected as the anti-dumping investigation of Ningbo Kaneda Trading Limited.

Yesterday’s attempt to link the two companies finally abandoned the respondent to understand their reasons, but had no response.

According to Zhang Yi analysis, probably because most of the enterprises ribbon is small, and because of these lawsuits and the need to face difficulties in the relatively high cost, easy to be intimidated. If not standardized operation and management in peacetime, responding will be more complicated, and costs will be higher.

Because the two abandon the respondent, has raised China Ribbon’s “dual” tax rate, not by pumping in 13 separate survey of enterprises involved in the tax rate, is to take the mandatory respondent companies received an average tax rate value, while the respondent did not participate in the enterprise, the maximum tax rate is levied.

Chang mentioned that the United States from the ribbon in this case, the relevant products on the China Taiwan only charge no more than 4.54% of the tax, in addition to recognition of China Taiwan Area and the United States market economy status, and the overall positive response to Taiwan’s enterprises have relationships.

Foreign Trade University, Senior Fellow, Institute of Sino-US economic and trade this reporter yesterday, Zhou also stressed the need for enterprises to actively responding. In previous years the U.S. shrimp anti-dumping case against China in Zhanjiang, the League of Nations after a positive response, scored a zero tax rate, while lying in the United States on China anti-dumping lawsuits wood furniture, Chinese enterprises have also been scored very low rate of positive response.

In the resolution, Zhou view, this is only the United States last year after the abolition of quotas on Chinese textiles and small scale chopper. United States this year, “trade war” may continue to heat up, especially in textiles and clothing will be “dual” of the hardest hit, in addition to auto parts, and the enterprises should always tighten the nerve.
