Brasília – The Executive Committee of the Foreign Trade Chamber (Gecex) has approved a surtax on Chinese footwear that will remain in effect for five years. Gecex accuses the Chinese of dumping (selling goods at less than cost) after a two-year investigation requested by the Brazilian Shoe Association (“Abicalçados”).
The surtax will not be applied to certain sandals and shoes for athletes.
