The export to Mexico involves 26 enterprises, a total of 451 thousand and 700 pairs or 2 million 814 thousand US dollars. Compared with the previous year, the volume and amount of exports increased by 218.77% and 256.20% respectively, and the growth rate was extremely fast.
Since the international footwear conference held in Mexico in September called for boycotting the import of Chinese footwear products, two countries in Mexico and Brazil have restricted import of Chinese footwear products.

The approval process may take up to 60 days.
In addition, the Brazil government has imposed additional tariffs on footwear products from China since March last year, charging 13.85 dollars for each pair of shoes.
The price of the ordinary export shoes is less than half of the tariff.
According to the inspection and quarantine departments, the shoes are very seasonality. The 60 day approval time is enough for shoes to pass the season. With additional tariffs, Chinese shoes are basically no longer competitive in the Brazil market.
At the same time, Brazil also suspected that China shoes curve entry to circumvent the additional tax, that Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam are becoming the pit point for Chinese shoes to enter the Brazil market. If the investigation is true, Brazil will extend the relevant anti-dumping policy and revoke the import license of the relevant enterprises.
Li Haijun, manager of AOKANG Group International Trade Center, told reporters that at present, AOKANG does not export quantities and batches to Mexico, and is exported indirectly to Mexico through global sourcing merchants. This measure has little impact on AOKANG. However, so many countries and regions jointly boycott Chinese made shoes are also enough for enterprises to be vigilant.
