Textile Enterprises: Looking For Win-Win New Business Opportunities

　　 Recently, Customs The General Administration announced fortieth announcement on 2010. According to the announcement, the first step of the implementation of the tariff free measures for the least developed countries to establish diplomatic relations with us has been approved by the State Council. Since July 1, 2010, zero tariff has been imposed on some commodities which are originally produced in 33 least developed countries which have completed the exchange procedures. Reporters from the new announcement found that many of the commodities that enjoy zero tariff treatment are the upstream raw materials of the textile industry. There are light textile city raw materials import enterprises therefore believe that in the domestic raw material market prices remain high, the import of light textile raw materials to these less developed countries, may bring a lot of cost advantages for enterprises.

"Zero tariff" commodities, a large number of textile raw materials.

Reporters from the General Administration of Customs announced that the list of the 33 least developed countries includes the Democratic Republic of the Commonwealth, the Republic of China, the Republic of China, the Republic of China, the Democratic Republic of China, the Republic of China and the Republic of China.

Although the industrial economies of these countries are not developed, Plant Industry and animal husbandry are traditional industries in some countries. wool And other products are important commodities in these countries. In particular, African cotton is also an important competitor of the US cotton in the international market.

The "zero tariff" commodities shown in the notice contain 4762 items of tax items, of which the finished products made of raw materials such as silk, cotton, wool and so on are also very large. There are other silkworm cocoons, earth silk, uncombed goat hair, no combed other cashmere, combed rabbit hair, non retail coarse carded coarse cotton single yarn, non retail combed fine cotton single yarn, non bleached other blended heavy cotton cloth, cotton knitted or crocheted female coats, windproof clothing, and other natural textile raw materials or semi-finished products.

"These raw materials were originally imported into China to collect MFN rates ranging from 5% to 25%. However, after the implementation of" zero tariff ", the import of these products to China will be more convenient and cheaper. A staff member of customs office told reporters that at present, there are not many products imported from Africa. However, the prices of goods in Africa were originally very cheap. After the implementation of "zero tariff", not only the procedures were more convenient, but also the imported commodities were mainly manufactured products, and the risks were lower and the quality was higher than the direct import of cotton. Therefore, the import of enterprises was a good choice.

　　 Importing goods from Africa is no trouble.

Laderman is a Yemeni who now runs an import and export company. He is very happy about the zero tariff imposed on China's imports of some 33 least developed countries. He told reporters that the price advantage of imported products from China is decreasing now, especially the price increase of raw materials and exchange rate changes this year, which has also reduced the competitiveness of China's Textile City products in foreign markets. This time, China's tariff exemption for 33 countries has undoubtedly brought new opportunities to the textile industry.

Laderman said that the price of light textile products such as China and other countries is cheaper, even with freight and other costs, which are cheaper than those in the Chinese market. He believes that there is still a certain gap between African textile production technology and China. If we can import these products to China, it will be a win-win cooperation.

In addition, the reporter learned from a staff member of a certain freight forwarding company that at present, imports from Africa and other places are not many, but imports from Africa and other places are relatively convenient and fast.

The relevant officials of the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau also pointed out that if the products of these underdeveloped countries are lower than those of the domestic market after comparison, it is indeed a good choice for enterprises to import products from these countries.

However, the head of a knitting enterprise pointed out that compared with ASEAN, Europe and the United States, China's Textile City enterprises do not know the situation of the underdeveloped countries in Asia and Africa, and little is known about the development level of the local textile industry.

He hoped that relevant departments would be able to provide more information about these countries, especially the introduction of the textile industry, so as to develop import and export trade in these developed areas.
