On the banks of the Huai River in March, spring is bright and clear. In the production workshop of Bengbu Dingmei Leisure Products Co., Ltd. in Guzhen County Economic Development Zone, the mechanical arm flips and swings, and the weaving, welding, assembly and other processes are orderly. The skilled workers are skillfully assembling sets of outdoor woven rattan sofas with smooth lines, lightweight and sturdy folding beach chairs, and elegant and exquisite wrought iron tables and chairs. These leisure chair products have rapidly entered the overseas market in recent years, appearing in the courtyards of European and American families, beaches of Southeast Asian resorts, and parks in many cities around the world.
Speed is the key to competitiveness for enterprises going global. The convenience models promoted by customs, such as' early declaration 'and' direct loading upon arrival ', have truly achieved' zero waiting 'for customs clearance, "said Li Fangfang, the head of customs affairs at Dingmei Company. By pushing the customs clearance process forward and backward, export goods can complete the declaration procedures before arriving at the port. Qualified containers can be directly loaded onto the ship upon arrival, greatly reducing the overall customs clearance time and ensuring timely delivery of overseas customers' orders.
In response to the characteristics of Dingmei Company's export products with multiple destinations, types, and high order timeliness requirements, Bengbu Customs actively provides advanced services and customizes support plans. Bengbu Customs also actively connects and guides Dingmei Company to make full use of various export preferential policies, ensuring that the national policy dividends should be fully enjoyed, effectively reducing the operating costs of enterprises, and enhancing the international price competitiveness of products.
Intellectual property is the core asset of cultural export enterprises. Bengbu Customs has carried out special work on intellectual property protection such as the "Longteng Action", actively guiding and supporting Dingmei Company to register its original designs for customs intellectual property, and building a solid legal shield for the enterprise brand to "go global".
In 2025, Dingmei Company achieved a year-on-year growth of 218.1% in exports and was successfully selected as a key national cultural export enterprise for the years 2025 to 2026 by the Ministry of Commerce and other departments, becoming a new growth point for local foreign trade stability and quality improvement. Jiang Rui, Deputy Director of Bengbu Customs, introduced that in the next step, the customs will further strengthen the information collection and analysis of overseas cultural consumption market trends, build more efficient policy information transmission bridges, and help more "Bengbu Created" cultural brands set sail overseas and gain global reputation.
