To support the steady development of the domestic home furnishing industry, we have proactively contacted enterprises to understand the import categories, specifications, shipping schedules, and customs clearance requirements for key commodities such as imported wood. We have dedicated personnel to accurately interpret policy details such as wood import quarantine standards, HS code declaration specifications, and accompanying document requirements, helping enterprises avoid declaration risks in advance. ”Che Yanhong, the head of the Import Department of Haishu Customs under Ningbo Customs, introduced it.
While continuously expanding the import of high-quality goods from the United States, Ningbo's foreign trade enterprises actively assess consumer preferences in the US market, abandon the low price competition model, adhere to market demand orientation and quality reputation as the core, and accurately match customized and personalized needs of overseas customers through normalized supply and demand docking. With efficient response speed, excellent product quality, and professional supporting services, they continue to win new orders and explore new customer sources.
