He said that the sponsor of the investigation is not South Africa, but the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). SACU includes five countries: South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland, and the final trade remedy measures are also applicable to the other four countries. The positive factor is that South Africa recognizes my country's market economy status, and the South African investigation agency is relatively fair and objective, but companies must complete the questionnaires, reliable data, and good details with the cooperation of lawyers. Judging from past cases, many have achieved zero-duty dumping, low-duty dumping, no damage or no causal relationship, and have received good results.
Deputy Director Guo Fang pointed out that actively responding to the lawsuit is the key. Every response meeting has a common purpose, which is to insist on walking on two legs. First, in terms of anti-dumping, companies hire lawyers to defend individually; second, industry collectives Hire a lawyer to defend the industry without damage, and try not to take measures against the industry as a whole.

It is not easy to give up a market to cultivate and re-enter. This is why the China Rubber Association encourages enterprises to respond individually and form a group to carry out the industry without harm. reason for the defense.
And in the next 10 years, the fastest growing population in the world is Africa, and the market potential is very large. South Africa's recognition of my country's market economy status and the relatively fairness and objectivity of the South African investigative agency are favorable factors for responding to the lawsuit.
