Recently, the Chinese textileimport and exportThe busy scene in the Legal Department of the council highlights the challenges faced by the textile industry in the current global trade environment. Since Turkey launched a safeguard measure investigation on knitted or crocheted fabric products on January 12, the council has started intensive應(yīng)訴 preparation work and closely monitored the latest progress of the case.

In the past year, the Chinese textile and clothing industry has encountered 22 trade remedy investigations initiated by multiple countries around the world, an increase of 29% compared with the previous year. These investigations mainly involve aspects such as anti - dumping, counter - subsidy, safeguard measures and anti - circumvention, covering nine countries including Indonesia, Turkey, Madagascar, India, South Korea, the United States, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Peru. Although the export value of the products involved decreased by 60% year - on - year, the increase in cases has undoubtedly intensified the trade frictions in the industry.

Facing this situation, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles continuously strengthens the four-body linkage mechanism, fully assisting Chinese textile and apparel exporters in protecting markets and maintaining industry stability. The chambers work includes investigating involved enterprises and products, notifying them to initiate legal responses, and providing necessary legal support.

According to the analysis, the trade remedy investigations initiated by foreign countries on Chinese textile and clothing products in 2023 show some new characteristics. First, the number of trade remedy cases has increased, with developing countries as the main initiators. Second, the number of safeguard measure investigations has reached a record high, especially concentrated in Indonesia and Madagascar. In addition, the scope of products involved is constantly expanding, mainly concentrated on textiles, and also involving clothing and accessories products.

The council actively defends in response to trade remedy investigations. By organizing enterprises to participate in anti - dumping, counter - subsidy, safeguard measures and anti - circumvention investigations, it has successfully prevented the implementation of some measures unfavorable to the export of Chinese textiles. For example, in response to the anti - dumping investigation of Indonesian synthetic fiber filament yarn, the council took rapid action, organized enterprises to register as interested parties, held a case應(yīng)訴coordination meeting, and actively carried out an industry non - injury defense.

The councils active response has won a certain breathing space for the Chinese textile and clothing industry. For example, the clothing safeguard measure case in Peru, the anti - dumping case of viscose yarn in India, the anti - dumping sunset review case of polyester filament yarn in Pakistan and the anti - dumping case of oriented polyester yarn in South Korea all ended without measures, demonstrating the important role of the China National Textile and Apparel Council in international trade disputes.

Facing the possible continuous trade frictions in 2024, the China National Textile and Apparel Council will continue to strengthen its focus on key tasks, promote enterprise services and improve the service system. The council will further enhance its ability to respond to trade frictions, help enterprises improve their risk - resistance ability, and safeguard the rights and interests and industrial safety of the Chinese textile and clothing industry to meet the changing challenges in the global trade environment.foreign tradeIndia considers abolishing the low - tax principle in anti - dumping investigations
