Camping with tropical tents for smooth sailing

With the increasing consumption level in recent years, camping, which is close to nature, has evolved from a niche outdoor activity to a popular leisure activity for the masses. Finding a green space, setting up a tent, setting up a table of meals, and enjoying the warm afternoon sun are popular new social scenes nowadays.

On March 17th, 27 camping tents were cleared and released under the supervision of Huangdao Customs under Qingdao Customs, and immediately rushed to overseas markets to bring "Chinese coolness" to overseas camping enthusiasts.

As an outdoor product, tents have strong seasonality. During this time of year, there are continuous orders scheduled to be sent to Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other places, "said Gao Nana, manager of Qingdao Polar Outdoor Products Co., Ltd." Coinciding with the late resumption of work and production during this year's Spring Festival, the delivery time is particularly tight, and whether it can be delivered quickly has become the key to expanding the market

With the rise in temperature, global outdoor camping consumption continues to heat up, driving a significant increase in demand for outdoor products such as tents and canopies. To help enterprises seize market opportunities, Huangdao Customs has established a dedicated channel for seasonal product clearance, guiding enterprises to make full use of convenient policies such as advance declaration and paperless clearance, and combining them with convenient measures such as appointment clearance and "early machine inspection+direct loading and delivery" to effectively compress clearance time and press the "acceleration button" for the development of camping economy.

We have contacted key enterprises in advance to understand their export plans, set up a 'cloud consultation' hotline to provide guidance on standardized declaration of product names, classifications, etc., set up a dedicated window to improve the efficiency of document review and release inspection, and timely push policies that benefit enterprises online to ensure timely delivery of enterprise orders, "said Tian Xianghai, Deputy Director of the Second Comprehensive Business Department of Huangdao Customs.

While improving customs clearance efficiency, the customs also continuously tracks the latest trade trends of major export destination countries, guides enterprises to respond reasonably to technical trade measures, enhances the competitiveness of products in the international market, and ensures that export tents go both "fast" and "stable".

Since the beginning of this year, we have exported camping tents and other outdoor equipment worth over 700000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of nearly 17%, achieving a 'spring acceleration', "said Gao Nana.

In the first two months of this year, Huangdao Customs supervised a total of 180 million yuan worth of exported tents, a year-on-year increase of about 30%. (Zhao Yingjie, Xu Yijiang/text)
