The Chinese Chamber of Commerce said that since the beginning of this year, the price of leather shoes exported to EU has continued to grow by 2 digits, but Chinese shoe makers are facing three challenges: the appreciation of the renminbi, the reduction of the export tax rebate rate, and the ban on the import of raw leather into the banned catalogue have led to the increase in costs; the increase in raw material prices and freight rates, and the shortage of labour supply have resulted in an increase in costs; the EU has imposed anti-dumping duties on leather shoes imported from China.

In an interview with reporters from China Leather Industry Association, a number of enterprises with strong brands and independent brands have improved their product grades and achieved a shift from middle to low grade.
