China's ceramic exports have repeatedly been blocked small and medium-sized factories or will be difficult to survive

After the EU's recent anti-dumping final tariff rates on Chinese tiles were released, the export pressure of Chinese ceramics enterprises further increased.

Foshan Jianyi and Xinruncheng Ceramics obtained separate tax rates of 26.3% and 29.3%, respectively, and another 30 or more responding Foshan Tao enterprises received a 30.6% tax rate, while a large number of Foshan small and medium-sized ceramic enterprises were awarded 69.7% due to no response. The high tax rate will be implemented for five years.

The EU is one of the most important export markets for Chinese ceramics. Customs statistics show that at present, the EU has become the third largest exporter of ceramic tiles in China. The total value of export ceramics is 10% to 12%. The introduction of punitive tariffs is obviously a blow to the Chinese ceramics industry.

Many ceramic export enterprises participating in the 110th Canton Fair stated that from the current situation of the Canton Fair, ceramic exports will be further tightened in the future. Hongyu Ceramics Exports Europe and the United States regional manager Zhu Zhaozhao told the "First Financial Daily", affected by the EU anti-dumping, the European debt crisis, etc., this session of the Canton Fair's orders fell accordingly.

For Foshan Imeyin Ceramics Co., Ltd., the EU originally occupied one-third of its entire overseas market share, the company's general manager Ye Jingmei told the media that there were few EU merchants at the Canton Fair, and the company’s original EU market was facing a loss. danger.

In fact, not only the EU, but other regions also frequently “contain” Chinese ceramics. Brazil is the fastest growing market for ceramic exports in recent years. Although no anti-dumping investigations have been conducted at present, it recently increased the import tariffs on ceramic tiles from the original 15% to 35% and required companies to hold licenses.

Kong Lingsa, deputy general manager of Mona Lisa Industrial Co., told this newspaper that if it is an anti-dumping case, the company can also actively file a lawsuit. However, like Brazil, there is no obvious anti-dumping case. As a company, there is no way to deal with it. In this case, the government needs to strengthen negotiations with the other party.

In June of this year, the Korea Trade Commission made an anti-dumping judgment, ruling that anti-dumping rates ranging from 9.14% to 29.41% of China's ceramic tile production enterprises, anti-dumping rates of 16.07% for other suppliers, and anti-dumping duties on Chinese tiles will be prolonged. 3 years.

At the same time as exports are subject to trade barriers, due to the impact of real estate macro-control, the downturn in the real estate market has directly affected the ceramic tile market as a building material. "The sales volume of the entire ceramics industry is declining, and it will be even more difficult next year." Kong Lingye said that currently some big brands still have some profit margins, and some small and medium-sized factories that focus on volume will hardly survive.
