Peru: antidumping measures against Chinese shoes to continue
30/11/2011
Measures affecting all shoes with uppers made from materials other than textiles first came into effect in 1997 to combat what Peru has called anti-competitive trading practices on the part of Chinese exporters.
A complex set of guidelines determine how much extra importers have to pay, with five separate levels of duty depending on the type of shoe. Peru’s national institute for the defence of competition and intellectual property carried out a review exercise in October and found that “there were still incentives to manipulate unduly” import prices for shoes from China, which is the reason it has given for continuing with its antidumping programme.
