Anti-dumping Duties on Steel Products: Beginnings of a New Trade War?
In the post financial crisis era, many countries are seeking new paths for economic growth and are implementing defensive measures to preserve their own domestic industries. Given these circumstances, along with the recent anti-dumping cases raised by the US Department of Commerce in regards to China's steel plate and pipe products, maybe it is time for China to rethink its business development methods and to shift its focus to value added products.
美国当地时间29日,美国商务部初步裁定,对从中国进口的钢格栅板征收反倾销税。部分企业涉及的关税高达145%。
钢格栅板是用钢材作为原材料的深加工产品,被主要用于工业类建材。根据美国商务部的统计数据显示近年中国出口到美国的钢格栅板增长极为迅速。据悉,美国商务部计划于2010年4月做出最终决定, 当前多家被卷入的中国厂家正在积极应诉。
除此外美国国际贸易委员与30日的表决也使得美国对中国产用于油井钢管征收反补贴税的裁决获通过,该裁决随即将正式生效。
据媒体统计,自一月奥巴马就职以来,已经对中国产品开展了至少十余次“反倾销、反补贴”调查。中方已多次就美国对中国出口产品征收关税表示不满,称这种贸易保护措施阻碍自由贸易。
后危机时代各国都在寻求新的经济增长方式。在这个大背景之下,中国经济增长方式的转变就显得更为迫切。正如商务部发言人所说:“转变外贸发展方式是我国从外贸大国成长为外贸强国的必然选择。”
