The Prices Of Chinese Shoes And Clothing Are "Different From Inside And Outside".

Some national goods are about 3 times higher in domestic prices than they are abroad. Why do Chinese people with GDP only 1/10 per person spend two or three times the same price for the same Chinese made goods?

There are many mainland residents in Hongkong who can buy daily necessities.

A Chinese made "Italy fur" is only sold for $70 after the Buffalo discount in the United States, while in the domestic market, the same fur coat can be sold for 1500 yuan.

Xu Dongming's deputy director and Associate Research Fellow of the Institute of international studies of the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences was somewhat surprised.

Xu Dongming told reporters that when he went to the United States, he also paid close attention to the price differences at home and abroad. He found that the cheaper Chinese made abroad was mainly concentrated in clothing, shoes and hats and other durable consumer goods.

He also cited an example of a Levi 's jeans, which sells for $15-30 (about 99-198 yuan) at a discount store in the United States, but the same pair of trousers will be sold to domestic stores at least 700 yuan at home.

A pair of Nike sports shoes, in the United States price of $33 (about RMB 217 yuan), export to Hongkong back to the mainland, it will be sold to nearly 700 yuan.

The price of the same goods in the two countries is two or three times different.

But on the other hand, China's per capita in 2010

For a long time, in the Chinese impression, cars, perfume,

In Xu Dongming's view, the reason is very complicated, first of all, it is related to the cost of circulation channels.

Foreign channel circulation efficiency is higher, logistics cost is lower, bulk purchase has more discourse power, retail terminal can give a lower discount than domestic, and also does not lose money; and domestic circulation channels are too expensive and inefficient.

In this regard, a shoe manufacturer in Guangdong also has deep feelings.

He told reporters that after the financial crisis, the company began to engage in the domestic market, "but do not enter, do not know, jump into a panic", did not expect the domestic sales channels involved so much cost and cost.

"In the past, when we were exporting, we talked directly with the US dealers. He even helped me spread the goods into more than half of the United States. I only had to pport the cost and push the goods to them."

The person in charge said.

In China, there are fewer large dealers, and businesses often have to go to every supermarket to shop. It is also good to enter WAL-MART's centralized shopping supermarket. Most supermarkets have to talk one by one. There are bar code fees, entry fees, loading fees, festival fees, information processing fees and so on. A product will cost 60 thousand -8 yuan for entering a supermarket.

The footwear company official told reporters that recently, manufacturers were preparing to open stores in the big stores, only to find that this is the most difficult problem. First, the entrance fee is as high as 300 thousand yuan, but it is not necessarily able to get in and spend money on finding relationships.

After entering the shopping mall, because the price is low, manufacturers are forced to raise prices to match the high-end positioning of the shopping mall.

In addition, China's logistics costs are also high.

The person in charge said, from Shanghai to Guangzhou, a kilogram of goods is about 0.5 yuan, while from Shanghai to Chicago, a kilogram of goods is only 0.8 yuan.

According to the statistics of China logistics and purchasing Federation, the total logistics cost in China accounted for about 18.4% of GDP in 2007, while the developed countries in Europe and the United States accounted for only 8.99%.

The logistics cost of Chinese enterprises is 40% to 50% higher than that of developed countries in Europe and America.

"Almost the same quality of shoes, our domestic prices are almost 1-3 times that of foreign countries, the middle channel costs accounted for most of the overseas, we are making money.

But in the country, even if the products are sold, their sales are not enough for rent, wages, pportation and management.

The footwear executives said that no matter the distribution channel or the taxes and fees generated in the production process, they were finally passed on to the terminal retail price.

High taxes and high prices

In the view of Duan Hongbin, a financial columnist, China's export tax rebate is an important reason why enterprises can export at a low price.

Since the reform of tax system in 1994, China's export tax rebate policy has undergone 12 rounds of adjustment.

In April 1, 2009, the state issued official documents, and the export rebate rate of China's textile enterprises increased from 15% to 16%, hoping to promote the recovery of textile enterprises.

"That is to say, foreigners spend 100 yuan on goods, of which 16 yuan is for Chinese people."

Duan Hongbin said.

And when Chinese made goods are once again returned to China from abroad, not only do they have to pay tariffs, but the value-added part will receive VAT, and the US has no value added tax.

The measurement of import tariffs in China is very high. Luxury cars are the best example. According to our tariff policy, imported cars need to pay customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax from the coast to the customs. The import and export tax on large volume of vehicles accounts for about 45% of the total vehicle price.

Typical products are Apple Corp iPhone, iPad and so on. Although they are manufactured and assembled in China, they are not only listed in the Chinese market much longer than overseas, but also sell at a much higher price.

Xu Dongming believes that the upside down of some commodity prices is also related to the speculation of domestic hot money.

"Domestic information is opaque, and investment channels are few, leading to hot money attacking everywhere, looking for opportunities to be hyped, and those goods that are easy to preserve and scarce, such as tea, medicine, grain, wine, gold, etc., are also the prey of hot money, and this is unthinkable in the highly pparent country of information."

Xu Dongming said.

The Chinese Moutai liquor, which is sold in stores at Osaka International Airport in Japan, sells 500ml for only 956 yuan, while in China, Moutai liquor has been fried to 1480 yuan during the Spring Festival.

The best Yunnan Dian Hong sold at a London tea shop to 40 yuan per 50 grams, while the price of the same brand of tea almost doubled to the domestic level.

However, not all domestic products are so. In most cases, the selling price of domestic goods overseas, especially in Europe, is still significantly higher than that in the domestic market. For example, the $more than 10 "Dabao" cosmetics sold in Japan will be about 1800 yen (about 100 yuan).
