Brazil will conditionally restrict Chinese clothing, footwear, and other products for daily use

The business agency reported on February 21 that the Brazilian government will flood the domestic market with products such as Chinese clothing, shoes and other daily products in the coming days, and announce measures to protect Brazilian companies. However, this protection mechanism will not be comprehensive and unlimited.

Earlier, Iron Lady Rossev had planned to launch tough measures against China. In addition to increasing tariffs on more specific Chinese goods in the short-term, he would also require the Customs to strengthen inspections to counteract Chinese goods dumping in Brazil. As for long-term measures, it includes demanding that the *** appreciate and China open its markets.

The "O Estado de Sao Paulo" reported that although the vast majority of Brazilian companies are accepted by the government, it is undeniable that domestic companies still have problems to improve and solve. Moreover, China has surpassed the United States as Brazil’s largest trading partner and the government cannot easily close the Brazilian market to China.

The Brazilian government believes that compared to the Chinese market’s business opportunities for Brazilian companies, the trade frictions of the two countries are only minor. The Ministry of Industry and Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must cooperate to limit Chinese products without prejudice to the relations between the two countries.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is worried that Brazil’s industry and commerce are encountering bottlenecks, but it has turned China into a scapegoat; although Chinese products pose a problem for Brazilian products, they cannot attribute all problems in the industrial market to China.
