In 2012, China implemented a policy of reducing the price of imported leather products (finished products), what impact will this have on Chinese shoe-making or leather enterprises?
Relevant leaders of Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association said that 50% of Guangdong's leather shoes and luggage leather raw materials are imported and 20% are from other provinces. The cost of raw materials has a great impact on the cost of finished products.
First of all, expanding imports is a result of the general trend of the macroeconomic policy being gradually shifted from an outward-oriented economy to an endogenous economy. The government cut the import duty on leather in order to make greater use of foreign leather resources to serve the Chinese leather goods enterprises. Through imports, it can reduce the damage to the ecological environment in some areas and is also one of measures for environmental protection.
Secondly, reducing the tariffs on imported leather will bear the brunt of China's economy. The impact will be to promote trade balance, promote the balance between supply and demand, and promote domestic leather enterprises to improve product quality and service quality so that the people can spend relatively little money on high-quality leather products.
With the reduction of tariffs on the import of raw leather, the exports of domestic leather and its products will also grow rapidly correspondingly. At the same cost to import more fine leather, the leather industry is fully sharing the benefits of global economic integration.
Thirdly, the formulation of the tariff rate is for trade. It is a leveraged instrument. It is of great significance to lower the tariffs on leather imports and promote national consumption of leather products domestically. This is of great significance for the readjustment of China's economic structure. The stock of leather can not enjoy the price, so now the price can not be reduced at once. Reduced taxes may reduce the price of raw materials and help reduce the cost of finished shoes.
