For China's exports, the United States increased the tariff list from the initial US $50 billion to the later US $200 billion, including wood products such as floors, cabinets and wardrobes, which had a great impact on the domestic wood products industry. In the future international trade, how can wood products enterprises avoid losses to the greatest extent? Recently, Wu Shengfu, vice president of China Forest Products Industry Association, introduced the current US tariff increase on imported Chinese products and the situation of wood products involved in 301 investigation, and introduced the current response of the industry.
According to Wu Shengfu, the two lists in which the United States increases tariffs on Chinese products involve plywood, flooring, cabinets, wardrobe, wooden doors and other products. He said: "In the $50 billion tax increase list of the first 301 survey in the United States, it was originally required to include plywood and flooring made in China, with a tax of 25%. After knowing this news, the China Forest Products Industry Association issued a notice on the same day, calling on enterprises to respond to the lawsuit in the afternoon of the same day, because it requires only three days, and we must respond to the lawsuit. Therefore, we prepared the materials on the first day, prepared the materials on the second day, and handed in the materials on the third day Go. Finally, plywood and flooring are not included in the 25% tax list of the United States. However, recently, the new US $200 billion tax list came out again. At first, the US $200 billion products were subject to a 10% tariff. Later, the US trade representative office issued a new announcement calling for the original 10% tariff to be increased to 25% at the new request of President trump. This list involves cabinets, wardrobes, wooden doors and other products. If the tariff of all wood products in our whole industry is increased by 25%, plus the original double anti tax rate, it will be difficult for all Chinese forestry industrial products to enter the American market. "
How should the wood products industry deal with this severe situation? Wu Shengfu said: "Next, we will convene a meeting of bamboo products enterprises in Anji, Zhejiang Province. We have called on the flooring industry twice, and everyone has participated enthusiastically. We want to call on enterprises to deal with this situation together. In addition, the five person group of China forest products industry association will go to Washington, USA to attend the on-site hearing. The hearing is divided into three groups. We have three witnesses, I am one of them, and the three people are divided into three different groups, which are in 20 The hearing was held in court on the afternoon of the 21st. For the sake of the interests of the industry, our work has been going on. We hope that the majority of enterprises will work together to do a good job in dealing with export trade. "
