粘胶长丝进口征收税务让印度动力织机厂商受挫

The recent decision of the Government of India to impose an anti-dumping duty of 16.90 percent on the import of viscose filament yarn (VFY) originating in, or exported from, China for a further period of five years, is likely to affect powerloom weavers in India’s textile hub of Surat.

Viscose filament yarn is the main raw material for about 150,000 of around 600,000 weaving machines in Surat, known for man-made fabrics production.

Federation of Gujarat Weavers Association (FOGWA) Chairman, Mr. Ashok Jirawala, told fibre2fashion, “Powerloom weavers and yarn importers in Surat would be greatly affected due to the levy of anti-dumping duty on the import of viscose filament yarn from China. The small-scale industries would especially feel the blow.”

“Our request was that there should be no duty at all on import on viscose filament yarn from China. So, earlier the duty was waived off, and then the anti-dumping duty was imposed. This policy points towards some weakness of the Textiles Ministry. The duty, which has now been imposed to benefit a few people, will negatively affect the entire industry,” he adds.

FOGWA has submitted a memorandum to two Union Ministers during the past few days urging them to remove the duty on import of VFY. “The Ministers have promised to arrange our meeting with the Textiles Minister and work to solve the issue,” informs Mr. Jirawala.

近日，印度政府决定在中国生产或从中国进口的粘胶长丝继续征收为期5年的反倾销税，税率高达16.9%。这很有可能给印度苏拉特地区的动力织机厂商带来严重打击。
粘胶长丝作为化纤面料的主要原材料，在苏拉特地区所占比重较大。60万台动力织机里有15万台使用该原料。
古吉拉特邦制造联合协会（FOGWA）主席Ashok Jirawala先生告诉记者，对中国市场的粘胶长丝征收大额反倾销税将给苏特拉地区的动力织机织造商带来严重影响。我们的要求是对中国进口的粘胶长丝征收零关税。因此，早前关税被取消，但是现在反倾销税又被强加在这种产品上了。该政策显示出了纺织部的弱点。这种税收的征收，得益者少，失利者多。
FOGWA已经在过去几天给联盟部长递交了备忘录希望他们能取消粘胶长丝的进口关税。Ashok Jirawala先生说部长们正在安排我们与纺织部会面以坚决该问题。
