    The Pakistani Footwear Manufacturers Association has urged the government to impose anti-dumping duties on imported footwear to counter under-invoicing and miss-declaration, as cheap imported shoes are badly damaging the domestic footwear industry, especially hundreds of small cottage industry units. The chairman noted that Pakistan's demand for shoes is 220 million pairs annually to serve its population of over 140 million, but many small domestic producers have had to close due to an inability to compete on cost with foreign imports.

    Anti-dumping duty can save footwear industry

    LAHORE: Pakistan Footwear Manufacturers Association


    (PFMA) has urged the government to take measures to check
    the inflow of foreign footwear into Pakistani market through
    the tactics of under-invoicing and miss-declaration. Shahid
    Usman, chairman at PFMA, said the import of under-priced
    shoes was badly hitting the domestic footwear industry,
    especially hundreds of cottage industry footwear units
    working across the country. Only 30 to 40 footwear units are
    members of PFMA while hundreds are working in un-
    organized sector. Pakistan with population of over 140 million
    has a demand of 220 million pairs of shoes annually. “A big
    number of units in the un-organized sector have closed down
    after failing to compete with foreign shoes in terms of cost of
    production,” said Mr Usman. He said, even big footwear
    companies of the country had closed down their units and
    started imports for domestic marketing. —APP
