Giovanni Savorani, intervistato su Casa Radio, nella rubrica Bricks and Music, condotta da Paolo Leccese, analizza le implicazioni dei dazi cinesi sulle piastrelle di ceramica e svela le prospettive di crescita per il settore.Il Presidente di Confindustria Ceramica, Giovanni Savorani, ha fornito un'analisi approfondita sulle recenti decisioni dell'Unione Europea riguardanti i dazi antidumping sulle importazioni di piastrelle di ceramica provenienti dalla Cina.Durante un'intervista esclusiva ai microfoni di Casa Radio, nella rubrica Bricks and Music condotta da Paolo Leccese, Savorani ha sottolineato l'importanza di queste misure per la tutela del settore ceramico europeo.Secondo quanto dichiarato dal Presidente Savorani, l'approvazione definitiva dei dazi rappresenta una tappa fondamentale per contrastare il fenomeno del dumping e garantire condizioni di concorrenza equa sul mercato comune. L'aliquota del dazio, entrata in vigore lo scorso venerdì 16 settembre e valida per i prossimi 5 anni, varia a seconda della collaborazione delle aziende cinesi all'indagine condotta, oscillando tra il 30,6% e il 69,7%.L'iter che ha portato all'approvazione di tali dazi ha richiesto un lungo processo, iniziato nel 2010, che ha coinvolto la compilazione di oltre 70 questionari aziendali in sei paesi comunitari. Questa procedura dettagliata è stata volta a tutelare tutte le parti coinvolte, comprese le indagini condotte anche negli Stati Uniti come paese terzo di controllo.Parlando delle prospettive per il 2024 e delle opportunità di crescita per il settore ceramico, Savorani ha evidenziato l'importanza di eventi come Cersaie 2024, il Salone Internazionale della Ceramica per l'architettura e dell'Arredobagno. Presentando il Manifesto dell'edizione 2024 della fiera, Savorani ha sottolineato come esso rappresenti una narrazione grafica e concettuale dell'interazione tra l'essere umano e gli spazi architettonici.Il visual del manifesto, secondo Savorani, riflette l'ampia gamma di prodotti di design presenti a Cersaie, in grado di soddisfare le esigenze di progettisti, contractors e operatori del settore provenienti da tutto il mondo.Con la manifestazione prevista a Bologna dal 23 al 27 settembre, Savorani si è detto fiducioso nell'attrarre un pubblico internazionale interessato alle ultime tendenze e innovazioni nel campo della ceramica per l'architettura e dell'arredobagno.

A FUNAG, o Centro de Estudos do Comércio Global e Investimentos da FGV e a Cátedra da OMC no Brasil inauguraram, no dia 17 de novembro, o curso online “Memórias do Brasil na OMC”. O curso objetiva recuperar a memória das negociações e relembrar como foram definidos os temas e as regras do comércio internacional desde a criação da OMC. Essas regras são ainda válidas e sustentam um comércio de mais de US$ 20 trilhões. A meta é mostrar ao público jovem universitário como o sistema do comércio foi estabelecido. Este projeto pioneiro, sob a responsabilidade da Professora Vera Thorstensen, da FGV / Cátedra OMC, oferece 12 aulas relativas à política e regulação do comércio internacional e, também, entrevistas com diplomatas que participaram das negociações desde o fim da Rodada Uruguai do GATT, passando pela criação da OMC, até os tempos atuais.
Continuing the conversation with Bonnie Kersch on antidumping and countervailing duties. This episode picks up where we left off on the previous episode. When dealing with trade compliance issues, there are several different perspectives that one can take. There is regulatory enforcement, then there are the service providers, and then there are the importers (or exporters). In past episodes we covered Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD) in the point of view of the attorneys who are called to defend importers. In this episode we cover the same AD/CVD topic but this time through the eyes of the Importer. At the end of the day, the importer is who carries most (if not all) the burden when there are issues. Many times, the best defense is offense and being prepared in best practices and having the resources to avoid issues in the first place. Tune in as we discuss AD/CVD with Bonnie Kersch, a seasoned importer, who provides information and life experiences that will surely help. This episode is part two of two.

Leslie is joined by Scott Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America's leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union. For roughly 15 years, Mr. Paul and AAM have worked to make American manufacturing a top-of-mind issue for voters and our national leaders through effective advocacy, innovative research, and a savvy public relations strategy. Leslie and Scott discuss the Department of Commerce's investigation into whether Chinese manufacturers are re-routing solar panels through four Asian countries in an attempt to avoid U.S. tariffs. Here is more background on the subject from Scott's colleagues at AAM, Elizabeth Brotherton-Bunch and Matthew McMullan: The investigation came about after California solar panel maker Auxin Solar filed a petition with the Commerce Department asking for the investigation, arguing imports from Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand were actually made in China. Auxin also had support from Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and in the Senate and House, with Ohio Sens. Rob Portman (R) and Sherrod Brown (D) writing to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo: “As we understand it, these operations use raw materials, labor, capital investment, and research and development from China. Moving to a third country to assemble a product with inputs from the country subject to the original AD/CVD order is textbook circumvention. (AD/CVD stands for Antidumping and countervailing duties, which are intended to offset the value of dumping and/or subsidization, thereby leveling the playing field for domestic industries injured by such unfairly traded imports). As you know, if legitimate circumvention allegations go unaddressed, entire domestic industries and thousands of American manufacturing jobs are at risk.” It all seemed pretty straightforward; Commerce would investigate the claims and issue a decision. If you follow this blog, you know that these sorts of trade cases happen all the time. But ever since Commerce moved forward with the probe, solar importers have done a full court press to convince everyone that the investigation would spell doom for the industry. There have been many, many many stories in recent weeks arguing that the solar industry is now “frozen” because of the investigation and that it will hinder the Biden administration's climate goals. They've also argued that shipments have already slowed because of the investigation. It all strikes us as somewhat odd, given that no decision has been made (and thus no new tariffs have been issued). What do these folks have to fear? That's the argument that Auxin CEO Mamun Rashid made in a recent interview with E&E News. “If there's been no cheating going on, there's absolutely nothing to worry about,” he said. “If I'm a manufacturer overseas, or I'm an importer, and I know I wasn't participating in any kind of circumvention, I wasn't cheating, I don't have anything to worry about. I don't understand why the concern is there.” Rashid also rejected the argument that tariffs, if they are eventually placed on these products, will harm the industry and limit progress on reducing climate emissions. He said: “I can only speak to my experience. In the last 14 years, we have seen tariffs being instituted and we've seen the predictions that were made on what would happen if the tariffs were put in place. And it has never materialized. Deployments have continued to grow double digits and outperform predictions, even prior to tariffs being imposed, and pricing has continued to fall. I have no reason to believe it'll be any different this time.” So why is SEIA mounting such an aggressive campaign against this investigation? Well, solar is an obviously important source of green energy and therefore plays a huge role in our national climate goals, but it's also an industry, and a business. And as a trade association representing lots of importers it's performing its primary function: Protecting their profits. It could also be because some of its member companies are the same ones that were originally targeted by the tariffs that these imports are accused circumventing, as the Prospect points out, and that some indeed source from suppliers that use slave labor in China's Xinjiang province — where the government has forced an estimated 1 million Uyghur and other typically Muslim ethnic groups into detention camps, according to researchers and news organizations. And this big push could also be because it could be gearing up to take a run at overturning a ban on imports made by that labor that's set to take effect in about six weeks. WEBSITEs: 1.

Water Tower Research's Budd Bugatch talks to Proactive about its recent report where it initiated coverage on Culp Inc (NYSE:CULP), a manufacturer and supplier of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential and commercial furniture. Bugatch says the North Carolina-based group is set to benefit from the antidumping investigation of mattress imports, which recently resulted in meaningful tariffs imported on mattresses imported from China and several other countries.
Domestic mattress producers could see upticks in business, especially at the low-end, after anti-dumping duties led to a dramatic decline in imported mattresses. Back in 2018, a group of countries led by Vietnam was importing approximately 8,000 mattresses into the United States. Not a big deal. But when that number grew to 4.2 million the very next year, the mattress industry took notice. Those leading the charge uncovered unfair business practices called dumping, in which foreign entities subsidize products and sell them into the U.S. at unfair prices.
CBP recently stated that by April 2nd importers must correct entries, with required antidumping (ADD) and countervailing duties (CVD) for missing third country ADD/CVD cases where the CBP and Commerce origin and scope tests yield two different countries. Because CBP’s ACE filing system did not allow importers to file the case numbers for over one year, and in many cases importers may not have known to request such a case number, importers should carefully weigh their options before presenting these late deposits to CBP.

As a result, the construction materials importation industry, along with other industries importing goods subject to AD/CVD duties, are confronted with risk issues that may result in duty and penalty payments, if not properly addressed.

It's supposed to be a trade dispute between the U.S. and China over solar cells. But that's not the real story. What's more interesting is the way in which the Commerce Department determines whether imports are being ''dumped'' in U.S. markets. The formula might be based on prices in countries that have little or nothing to do with the matter at hand. It all comes down to whether or not the exporting nation in question is considered a ''market economy.'' And that decision is often more political than economic in nature, according to attorney William Perry, a partner in the trial department of Dorsey Whitney. He talks about the trade tensions that are simmering below the surface of relations between the U.S. and China, and offers his view on how the system should be improved.
