The EU recently made a proposal to extend the 16.5% anti-dumping duty on Chinese shoes for a minimum of 15 months. Extend the anti-dumping duties levied on Chinese shoes will affect the export of footwear in our city? Reporter interviewed the relevant people yesterday. "This basically has no effect on us." A person in charge of Yangzhou Baoyi Shoes Co., Ltd. said yesterday. The company mainly exports sports shoes and casual shoes, shoes-free products. Similarly, another footwear exporter - Yangzhou Huiyuan Footwear Co., Ltd. also said not to export shoes. "Jiangdu as a shoe manufacturing industry concentrated area, there is no export of a shoe, the domestic market is sufficient to digest." Jiangdu shoes shoes Co., Ltd. executive director Chen Lanyi said. Since July 2005, the EU has initiated anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes and imposed anti-dumping duties up to 16.5% on Chinese shoes, which lasted more than four years. This reporter learned that shoes and hats products are the city's key export products. From January to August 2009, the total amount of shoes and hats exported in the city was 137.14 million U.S. dollars, up 10.7% over the same period of last year. "Although footwear is our city's key export products, but Yangzhou exports are mainly sports shoes, craft shoes and indoor shoes, basically no shoes exports, so this basically does not affect our city."
