Siping Customs under Changchun Customs: Intangible Cultural Heritage Woodcarving "Going Global" Siping Customs provides targeted services to break down barriers

Recently, after passing the inspection of Siping Customs, a batch of wood carving crafts rich in shamanic cultural characteristics have been successfully cleared and sent to Germany. This is the 13th batch of export orders for Siping intangible cultural heritage wood carvings this year. As provincial-level intangible cultural heritage, these "wood carving hiking sticks" and "wood carving craft axes" that integrate traditional Northeastern techniques are becoming popular "Chinese gifts" in the international market from local crafts.

In response to the international certification barriers faced by wood carving exports, Siping Customs has established a "one enterprise, one policy" precise assistance file, formed a special team to guide enterprises in improving the raw material traceability system, standardizing production processes, and overcoming more than 10 international standard difficulties such as FSC forest certification one by one. At the same time, the customs tracks the quarantine policies of 11 major exporting countries in real time, timely pushes risk warning information, and helps enterprises accurately respond to the EU's new environmental regulations.

In order to promote efficient and smooth exports, Siping Customs has launched the "5+N" customs clearance acceleration measures, optimized core processes such as declaration and inspection, and implemented convenient measures such as "appointment inspection" to reduce customs clearance time by 40%. By promoting preferential policies for the country of origin through the "Customs Enterprise Direct Train", we have guided enterprises to make good use of the benefits of RCEP. Since the beginning of the year, we have helped wood carving enterprises enjoy tariff reductions of over 110000 yuan.

With precise assistance from customs, the export vitality of Siping wood carving industry continues to be released. At present, the industry has driven the coordinated development of related links such as wood processing, design and research and development, and integrated more than 300 households into the industrial chain. From January to February this year, the export value of Siping intangible cultural heritage wood carving products increased by 13% year-on-year, and were exported to more than 20 countries and regions around the world.

Based on the advantages of local characteristic industries, Siping Customs actively promotes the "Siping Woodcarving" brand to go global. Next, the customs will collaborate with local authorities to conduct specialized training on "wood carving skills+international standards", continuously strengthening the export foundation of enterprises and allowing intangible cultural heritage skills to shine in overseas markets.
