It is very likely that Vietnam-made leather-capped shoes exported to the EU will no longer bear the anti-dumping tax in October 2008, according to the Competition Administration Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
According to the European Commission’s (EC) notice about the anti-dumping taxation on Vietnam- and China-sourced shoes, if there is no contention about the administrative review from involved parties, the taxation will be finalised on October 7, 2008.
In principle, European producers may file petitions, requesting the review of tax levels. They need to provide proof to show that if the anti-dumping taxation is not maintained, dumping activities will re-occur, potentially damaging the European leather shoe industry.
The anti-dumping lawsuit against Vietnam- and China-made leather-capped shoes was raised in 2005. In April 2006, EC decided to impose the preliminary tax rates of 16.8% on Vietnam-made and 19.4% on China-made shoes.
Vietnam stated that it did not dump shoes on the EU market, and that the EU’s imposition of the anti-dumping tax on Vietnamese shoes did not truly reflect the situation.
Low labour costs and modern technologies are the biggest advantages of Vietnam’s shoe industry.
The tax imposition has been badly affecting Vietnam’s shoe industry, which employs more than 500,000 labourers, 80% of whom are female
