In addition to the daily use of ceramic kitchen utensils, the special ceramic knives with zirconia as the main raw material were also included in the anti-dumping investigation. Relevant companies, including the Oriental Zirconium Industry, said that once the high anti-dumping duties were imposed, it would affect the production and sales of upstream and downstream. At present, some companies are complaining to the EU. Five companies were selected for the sample survey on February 19, the European Commission issued a notice to announce the official launch of anti-dumping investigations on ceramic tableware and kitchenware (customs tax number starting with 69) originating in China. According to China's customs statistics, in 2011 China's exports to the EU's products involved reached 700 million US dollars. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Light Industrial Products and Crafts and the China Ceramic Industry Association organized domestic ceramic enterprises to actively respond to complaints. A total of nearly 400 export enterprises filed applications for appeals within the time limit stipulated in the announcement. Yesterday, the latest news from our reporter was that the European Commission has initially selected five of them as sample companies to participate in the survey. The list includes Hunan Hualian Porcelain Co., Ltd., Guangxi Sanhuan Enterprise Group, Shenzhen Xingqiu Industrial Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Chenli Import & Export Co., Ltd. and Chaozhou Baolian Ceramics Co., Ltd. The above-mentioned enterprises mainly focus on the production and export of daily-use ceramics such as dishes. The results of their investigation will determine the conclusion of this anti-dumping case. Ceramic knives were included in the anti-dumping investigation. However, the reporter learned from some enterprises that the ceramic knives were also included in the anti-dumping investigation scope together with ordinary ceramics. This has caused concern in the industry. “Ceramic tools belong to special ceramics, the main component is zirconia, which is not the same as ordinary ceramics made from kaolin.†Lin Liangduan, general manager of Guangdong Yangjiang Chaolin Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. told the Shanghai Securities Journal. According to customs data, Chaolin Company exported ceramic tools worth about 7 million US dollars in 2011, most of which were sold to the EU. They are filing a complaint with the European Commission on this, but have not received a reply so far. Compared with traditional steel knives, ceramic knives with zirconia as the main raw material have the advantages of wear resistance, no pollution, high hardness and high strength, and have become common knives for processing fruits and vegetables and cooked food in Europe and America. The current export price of a 6-inch knife (offshore) is about $5-6. The important application area of ​​the composite product of zirconia, the core product of the listed company Oriental Zirconium, is ceramic knives. However, since the market was first introduced, the name “ceramic knife†was used to make people imagine the direction of traditional ceramics. At present, the anti-dumping initiated by the EU is based on the customs tax number. Although the ceramic knife is not a ceramic in the traditional sense, the customs tax number of the export declaration is also included in the code beginning with 69, and is also included in the “accidentâ€. “If ceramic knives are subject to high anti-dumping duties, it will undoubtedly affect exports and even production, which in turn will affect our upstream supply of compound zirconia.†The senior Zirconium executives said in an interview with the Shanghai Stock Exchange that the company is closely monitoring the progress of the case. The domestic ceramic tool industry has been around for seven or eight years, and the booming development is marked by the rapid expansion of zirconia capacity after the listing of the eastern zirconium industry. “We have not responded to it now, because responding means acknowledging that our products are within the scope of anti-dumping. We have sent an email to the EU Trade Commission, and the appeal has to be classified. However, there is no reply yet.†Lin Liangduan of Chaolin Company The reporter said that in fact, there are almost no similar production-oriented enterprises in the EU member states, "how to talk about dumping." "But from the current situation, it is estimated that it is difficult to separate from the varieties." Relevant persons of the China Ceramic Industry Association said in an interview with this newspaper. At present, some ceramic tool companies have participated in the lawsuit. The above-mentioned persons said that if the final decision is to establish dumping, the only way for such enterprises to avoid high anti-dumping duties is to change the customs tax number of the exported products. However, the problem with this change is that EU importers have been promoting with “ceramic knivesâ€. If the tool number used for the beginning of 89 is changed, the product name must be changed accordingly, including the description on the product packaging. Make the corresponding changes. "At that time, it may only be called 'zirconium knife' or 'super hard knife'. This may cause consumers who have accepted the concept of 'ceramic knife' to be confused and have certain influence on sales in a certain period of time." Lin Liangduan believes that There is no industry association for ceramic knives in China, and it is hoped that relevant departments will help organize the organization of the industry as soon as possible to jointly deal with a series of future industry issues.
