Peru Economists Criticized The Government'S Anti-Dumping On Chinese Clothing.

< p > Ivan Alonso, an economist in Peru, published an article in the mainstream newspaper "business daily". She criticized the secret state competition and Intellectual Property Protection Bureau (INDECOPI) for adopting "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "anti-dumping" < /a > measures on the clothing products of the 34 tax numbers in China. The following views are as follows: < /p >

< p > recently, the final report issued by INDECOPI did not fully reflect all the information contained in its 900 page technical report.

INDECOPI decided to impose a high anti-dumping duty on the products of 34 tariff codes under the 5 categories of shirts, socks, trousers, Polo shirts and underwear exported to China, because the above products "may cause damage to local industries".

It is worth noting that the bureau does not use the term "determining damage".

< /p >

< p > reported that there will be 145 local a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > garment enterprises < /a > suffer "possible damage".

Compared with the 16000 textile enterprises, the more than 100 enterprises are only a drop in the bucket, not worth a lot, and can not even be called "most of the enterprises in the industry". The statement of "textile output from 2009 to 2011" is not representative.

Even if they are representative, according to the survey, the 145 enterprises have increased their clothing output by an average of 15% in recent years, the local market sales have increased by 19%, the number of employees has increased and wages have gone up. Where is there "damage"? < /p >

< p > INDECOPI may say that the domestic market has developed rapidly in recent years, but because of the low price of imported Chinese clothing, the secret domestic manufacturers have lost the market share and profits they deserve, and their inventories have increased.

In 2007, for example, the profit rate of garment enterprises was 15%, and from 2009 to 2011, Chinese clothing entered the Peru market in large scale, resulting in local enterprises' profits falling to between 9% and 10%.

But we can see that although profit margins are low, they have expanded production and hired more manpower, which shows that profit margins are acceptable to these owners.

< /p >

< p > INDECOPI has a tendency to increase the inventory of local enterprises by 30%. It is intended to make people understand that unfair competition has resulted in unsalable domestic products.

But this calculation does not take into account the factors that increase the output of local enterprises.

In 2009, these enterprises produced 151 million clothing products, reaching 173 million in 2011, and the ratio of stock to output increased from 13% to 15%, which did not hurt the clothing industry.

< /p >

The basic argument of < p > INDECOPI is that although the market growth of < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Peru < /a >, Chinese clothing has lost the market share of the secret industry.

However, market development is because some people make it bigger.

It is natural that secret importers can meet the needs of consumers with cheap Chinese products and have efficient sales channels to gain greater market share.

It is they who make the secret clothing market develop rapidly.

< /p >

< p > in conclusion, INDECOPI does not prove that Chinese clothing products cause "damage" to the domestic clothing output, and the anti-dumping measures will certainly lead to the shortage of garments purchased by most consumers.
