How companies respond to plastic products being "anti-dumped"

As a prestigious factory in the world, “Made in Chin a” is sold all over the world. The products made in China are often crowded around the market because of low prices, which has caused the production of local factories to be seriously affected and to protect their own country. Economic development is not affected, so protectionism has been implemented one after another. As a result, China's export volume as a factory in the world and sales of external orders have become very resistant. How should the plastics industry enterprises deal with anti-dumping policies?

How companies respond to plastic products being "anti-dumped"

Since 2016, the plastics industry has undergone several anti-dumping cases under a somewhat difficult situation (anti-dumping, which is broadly recognized as a tool under new trade protectionism). In March, Argentina launched an anti-dumping investigation on China's disposable plastic syringes. In mid-April, Egyptian plastics manufacturers submitted an application to increase anti-dumping duties on imports of DOP plastics and plastics raw materials from Southeast Asia. At the end of April, India on imported China. PVC paste resins do anti-dumping sunset review final ruling, increase high anti-dumping duties; in early May, the United States to China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries issued polyethylene plastic bags to continue to impose anti-dumping orders ... Such for foreign countries to China The anti-dumping behaviors are too numerous to mention. However, in the latter part of the settlement process, many are also resolved with the concessions of Chinese companies. In the face of high anti-dumping tariffs, not only affects China’s trade image, but also it is quite unfavorable for enterprises. of. So, in the face of this kind of situation, how should the company itself “prescribe the right medicine” and actively prevent “anti-dumping”?

First, companies should be familiar with the WTO's trade rules. As the saying goes: There is no rule without a radius. In the world trading system, the WTO trade rules are like a code of conduct on the import and export of trading countries. For importing countries, the low prices of imported products will inevitably have a huge impact on domestic manufacturers, affecting the normal production, sales, and procurement of local industries. For the protection of domestic industries, some countries will implement trade protection policies. With a view to protecting the normal operation of domestic industries, China, as the "world factory," must be the first to bear the brunt. In 2015, the export volume of plastic products totaled 9.73 million tons, up by 2.3% year-on-year, and the export value of plastic products accounted for 6.88% of China's total exports in 2015. At the same time, the anti-dumping cases of plastic products enterprises have been on the rise in recent years. Therefore, in the case of export behavior, enterprises should first become familiar with and actively adopt WTO trade rules, and export product quality requirements are in line with the rules.

Second, companies should face anti-dumping cases with a positive attitude. Under the conditions of trade diversification and globalization, as more and more Chinese manufacturers have gone abroad and domestic large, medium, and small-sized trading companies are also in a row, so many trading companies must have a lot of trade behavior, then they may encounter anti-dumping measures. case. For plastic export enterprises, it is particularly important how to deal with anti-dumping cases correctly. In the anti-dumping cases that have historically been encountered, Chinese enterprises have been in a weak position and they are forced to accept ultra-high tax rates or high fines. At the beginning of the century, China’s accession to the WTO began with a jubilation. Then some people proposed that joining the WTO has advantages and disadvantages for our country. Under the conditions of globalization of trade, it is like a double-edged sword. Therefore, we should face it squarely. The pros and cons it brings. In the face of anti-dumping cases, we should face it with a positive and correct attitude. We should use rules to protect our rights and interests. We must not create negative attitudes and strive to minimize Shanghai.

Anti-dumping cases are only means under trade protectionism and are problems that any import and export enterprise may encounter. From the opening year of 2016, plastic products anti-dumping cases have to be vigilant. If necessary, they should actively use WTO rules to protect their own company’s legitimate rights and interests from being infringed, and work hard in the tide of globalization of trade. Compete for your own place.
