Vietnam Steel with cheap Chinese steel attack

Vietnam Steel with cheap Chinese steel attack

TT - Millions of tons of steel from China with cheap imported massively in recent years has led VN steel industry in afflicted countries.

 

Technical Barriers to loose, no quality standards ... is the reason why steel VN being "attacked" at home.
 
The consequence of this situation is not only push the domestic steel enterprises at risk of stagnation of production, but also as an alarm bell for the construction by using imported steel products of low quality.
 
Enter much so cheap
 
The director of a steel structure enterprises based in Quang Minh Industrial Zone (Hanoi), including black plate price imports from China in the past few months have plummeted 40%, there is still some 7.3 million / new. This product is used primarily in the construction, factory ... Bargains up of imported goods skyrocketed.
 
Besides black plate, now also galvanized coil imported from China. Commodity prices also fell sharply, from 12.5 million / ton earlier this year now only 10 million / ton, the import volume increased by 50% compared to the same period in 2014.
 
Especially religious items, products that now VN has advantages, also being adhered imported from China dominate the market. According to VN Steel Association (VSA), the amount of respect the import of 750,000 tons in 2014, only in the month 9-2015, commodity imports have surged to 1 million tonnes.
 
 
 
According to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the end of May 10-2015 total iron and steel imports from China into the VN up to 7.71 million tons, up 62% over the same period last year and accounted for 61.1% of total imports of this commodity group in the country.
 
It is startling that many steel products have elements "alloy" as coil, rebar to billet all ... the import volume increased by dozens of times, but the average unit price of imports again sharply from 1-2 times compared with the same period last year.
 
Among them, the most deeply discounted rates to 4.5 times the alloy billet, from above $ 1,800 / ton currently only about 413 USD / ton.
 
Disguised as "alloy"
 
Explain Youth PV elements "alloys" in steel products, Mr. P. - general director of a steel company in the south - said: "Even in the manufacturing process in China, manufacturers calculated elemental boron or chrome dropped to as "alloy" to enjoy the import tax rate of 0% (instead of having to pay taxes 5-10% depending on type), but the fact is when the entire steel import Export of VN are used to build ".
 
Still according to the CEO, most rolled steel or alloy steel plant entering the VN are sent to the provinces consume different forms, the price is only 10 million / ton, cheaper construction steel products both locally million / ton.
 
"Instead of winning our company provides steel construction for province A, will now have commercial company supplying steel to steel construction with tradition" - this position explained.
As for the galvanizing and color coated imports from China, Mr. Vu Van Thanh, deputy general director of Group Lotus, said the state "urging dem", ie the thickness of the religious fraud, was " spread strongly across the board. "
 
"The first is the religious one hand thickness burn, but difficult to measure due to their thick cuts, with over 25% of cases. The second is the thickness of the coating. Disclosure may be AZ70, that is going plated zinc alloy 70g / m2, but of inferior quality sheet 30g or 40g plating only, not including paint quality is not guaranteed "- Mr. Thanh analysis. So if religious quality warranty for 10 years, the respect of time and poor quality is only 5-7 years is extreme.
 
According to the disclosure of a corporate vice president manufacturing other major religion in the South, is that some religious manufacturing enterprises are small, no brand on the market was ordered to take the Chinese press PLU code available, the product symbol, logo brand of prestigious enterprises in the market and type of VN, sold along with branded products.
 
This condition is very common in the North, Central and Central Highlands. "When they set to work, thickness, plating and paint cover of pseudo-natural products will be lower than the standards of reputable businesses, the price will be cheaper," - this status information.
 
Loosely stitch control
 
The steel industry experts believe that one of the reasons that the status of China steel imports massively in VN is due to regulations and technical barriers in VN are loosely stitched together control and enforcement rules are not tight .
 
"HS Code of square billet (billet normal) is 7207, the tax rate of 9%. But if importers deliberately declare the HS code is 7224 alloy billet is 0% tax rate. The problem here is that customs do not know either how the alloy billet, which if not look physically as both products have the same physical appearance? This is one of the gaps "- general manager P steel company analysis.
 
Meanwhile, according to Nguyen Van Sua - VSA vice president, to be imported alloy steel, current regulations force enterprises to import must be checked production capacities or have fiduciary contract for businesses are trading companies.
 
Simultaneously to conduct registration of imported steel grade standards to the General Directorate for Standard and Quality evaluation of this declaration is true as regulations already registered or not. "I think the registration checks conformance did not do well because of alloy steels imported from China at present only about 25 labels. If you want to control is not too difficult for importers of this kind is also not too much "- he Sua frankly.
 
On the other hand, according to experts, the current VN no national standards for quality steel. "We also accept basic standards, which standards now compose and publish. So it is difficult to prevent steel and corrugated poor quality water from entering. To mitigate this situation, should soon issue a set of national standards for quality VN steel, corrugated steel "- a longtime expert in the steel industry proposal.
 
At the same point, Mr. Thanh also said that existing business VN steel product exports to these countries are experiencing trade barriers, technical barriers very demanding of your country. Meanwhile, in the domestic market for shoddy goods, fakes, counterfeit goods entering in large numbers easily, comfortably.
 
"Needs work joint circular 44/2013 of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ministry of Science and Technology. Also VN should apply a national standard, the product had been sold in VN Steel wants to comply, or in case VN has not issued immediately be national standards, they may apply to international standards or zones to control the imports, "- he Thanh proposed.
