Lighting companies actively coordinate to respond to Indian anti-dumping investigations

"India's anti-dumping investigation has come again. This time it is the turn of energy-saving lamps. We can't repeat the mistakes that the energy-saving lamps were imposed on the EU's high anti-dumping duties five years ago." Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Office held a lawsuit against the enterprises involved in the case in Foshan yesterday. At the meeting, a number of enterprises involved in the Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhongshan and other regions attended the meeting. The relevant person in charge of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Foshan called on the enterprises involved in the case to actively respond.

The person in charge of the Policy and Regulation Department of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Foshan said that India is the developing country that initiated the most anti-dumping against China. The anti-dumping investigation time is urgent, and the responding enterprise must submit the questionnaire reply and defense opinions within 40 days. Taking into account the important position of Foshan energy-saving lamp manufacturing industry, this coordination meeting was urgently arranged in Foshan.

Many Chinese companies involved

On August 29, the General Administration of Anti-Dumping of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India issued a notice requesting an anti-dumping investigation against compact fluorescent lamps imported from China, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Just one day later, on August 30, India officially filed an anti-dumping case against China's energy-saving lamps, and investigated companies that exported directly or indirectly through foreign trade companies to export products to India during the period from April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007.

“The information conveyed by the indictment is very clear, that is, it is necessary to crowd out Chinese enterprises in the Indian market,” said Wang Lei, an adviser to the WTO Affairs Center of Guangdong Province. “The scope of the indictment is very broad for the enterprises involved in the case. There will be a lot of businesses."

Foshan lighting companies have had a painful lesson

The person in charge of the Policy and Regulation Department of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Foshan told the reporter that Foshan lamps had encountered anti-dumping investigations before. On May 17, 2000, the European Union launched an anti-dumping investigation on compact energy-saving fluorescent lamps originating in China. On July 19, 2006, the European Union applied to the European Union's compact energy-saving fluorescent lighting industry committee. Compact energy-saving fluorescent lamps were investigated for anti-dumping sunset review.

“At that time, the energy-saving lamp enterprises encountered anti-dumping investigations for the first time. The enterprises did not have relevant experience. As a result, Xiamen energy-saving lamps enterprises that had the effect of complaints obtained a zero-tax market position, while some enterprises in Foshan did not participate in the response, and the results were collected as high as 66%. Heavy taxes, which basically lost the European market.” The person in charge said, “In view of the experience of the last time, we responded earlier so that more companies can obtain the market economy status of India, and the tax rate is even levied even Zero tax rate to further consolidate the Indian market"

The relevant person in charge of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Foshan introduced that there were many enterprises involved in the investigation in Foshan, mainly including energy-saving lamps enterprises such as Osram, Foshan Lighting and Benbang.

Enterprise representative: “An anti-dumping investigation was encountered just after opening the Indian market”

“Our company has just encountered the anti-dumping investigation when it opened the Indian market. The company will consider how to respond, which is related to the future and fate of our products in the Indian market.” Mr. Zhang, responsible for customs declaration, participated in the coordination meeting. Mr. Zhang said that the company’s annual export volume is about 10 million US dollars. In the past two years, it has gradually started to develop the Indian city. “Anti-dumping investigations are particularly urgent, but we have previous experience in dealing with EU anti-dumping investigations. We will consider how to be active. response."

Mr. Huang from the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Nanhai District told reporters that India is an important overseas market for Nanhai lighting companies, and many companies have long been ignoring this “fat”. Mr. Huang believes that due to the short period of time for enterprises to enter India and the instability, the change in tax rate brought by this anti-dumping investigation may have a huge impact on the development of the Indian market; if anti-dumping is established, it will not rule out that enterprises will completely abandon India. City often

Lawyer Wang Lei also expressed the same concern. According to the indictment of the Indian anti-dumping investigation, a temporary tax rate will be introduced within 150 days, and once the tax rate is determined, it will be implemented for five years. If a high tax rate is imposed, the energy-saving lamp company may lose India. Block market

Economic and trade department: lamps are not dumped

The relevant person in charge of the Foshan Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau told reporters that the most important basis for measuring whether a company has dumping is the comparison between the domestic sales price and the export price of the product. The export price of Foshan energy-saving lamps is generally higher than the domestic sales price. Ms. Li of Zhongshan Foreign Trade Bureau said that lighting enterprises are one of the important industries in Zhongshan City, and the export volume is also huge, but there is no dumping.

The three plaintiffs in the survey were Osram India, indo asian fusegear, and havells india, and Foshan's Osram (China) Lighting Co., Ltd. was one of the defendants. Lawyer Wang Lei believes that “the plaintiff and the defendant are both Osram’s head office, which is difficult to understand. This only shows that the Indian side is trying to protect the domestic enterprises and crowd out the Chinese energy-saving lamps and exports them to the country.”

Expert: Responding to responding should not be strong

Lawyer Wang Lei reminded the person in charge of the energy-saving lamp company that India frequently uses anti-dumping investigation methods. Enterprises should decide whether to respond to the importance of the Indian market according to the importance of the Indian market. If the company feels that the Indian market is not important, it can completely waive the response; If you decide to respond, you must respond effectively.

For example, Mr. Wang said that in the anti-dumping investigation conducted by the European Union on energy-saving lamps in 2000, Lisheng Electric Light Source (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. actively responded to the lawsuit and obtained a zero tax rate on market economy status. Some Zhejiang enterprises have participated in the response, but Due to insufficient preparation, the company was finally sentenced to impose a 55% anti-dumping duty, and companies that did not participate in the responding were subject to a 66% anti-dumping duty. "It can be seen that the response to the lawsuit is stronger than that of the lawsuit, and that the effect of the lawsuit is stronger than that of the lawsuit."
