Zhejiang made children's products explore the international market

As International Children's Day approaches, the global children's consumer market is entering a peak season, and products such as children's clothing, socks, and shoes are entering a golden export period. According to statistics, in the first four months of this year, the export of children's clothing, socks, shoes and other products in Zhejiang Province exceeded 50 billion yuan.

Recently, more than 200 pieces of children's clothing produced by Huzhou Thick International Trade Co., Ltd. were successfully shipped overseas under the supervision of Huzhou Customs. In recent years, our company has increased its investment in research and development of children's clothing design innovation and quality, coupled with various favorable policies for customs processing and trade, our competitiveness in exploring overseas markets has also been continuously improved, "said Wu Weiping, the company's head." Now that we are experiencing various holiday seasons, our export orders have increased significantly. In the first four months of this year, our children's clothing exports exceeded 6.5 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 70%

Huzhou, with an annual sales revenue of over 85 billion yuan, has become the largest children's clothing production and sales base in China, exporting to 167 countries and regions worldwide.

To assist in expanding the international market of the characteristic children's clothing industry in the jurisdiction, Huzhou Customs conducted on-site research on enterprises, tailored regulatory plans based on product process characteristics and enterprise order situations, interpreted policies such as intellectual property customs protection, import and export bonded warehousing supervision and customs clearance for enterprises, and helped enterprises make full use of preferential policies to go global.

With the upgrading of consumer demand, the market for children's products is becoming increasingly segmented. Opening the main product homepage of Yourun Socks Industry Co., Ltd. in Zhuji City, a variety of cute and interesting baby socks come into view, including newborn socks, children's mosquito proof socks, and walking soft soled shoes... As one of the earliest sock manufacturing enterprises in the "sock industry capital" to initiate the transformation and upgrading of intelligent equipment, "Yourun Socks Industry" in Zhuji, Shaoxing, with its mature and complete production industry chain foundation, not only occupies a place in the domestic market for mother and baby socks, but also exports to overseas markets. From January to April, the export value of "Yourun Socks Industry" was nearly 14 million yuan.

Due to business needs, we occasionally need to apply for some certificates of origin. From January to April, we processed various certificates of origin with visa amounts exceeding 1.5 million yuan. The customs has set up several self-service printing points for certificates of origin in the city, making it more convenient for us to obtain certificates, "said Ding Zheli, the customs officer in charge of Yourun Socks Industry." The customs also collects reported cases for the export of baby socks, reminding us to pay attention to the regulations and standards of different sales countries for baby socks and avoid stepping on landmines

In order to better support the development of county-level economy, Hangzhou Customs actively practices the "Yiwu Development Experience", effectively strengthens the linkage between customs and local areas, and uses the "Assisting Micro Strong Chain" project aimed at local sock enterprises to promote preferential policies such as origin and proactive disclosure for enterprises. It has also partnered with multiple banks to set up self-service printing service points for origin certificates, making it convenient for enterprises to self print origin certificates nearby and helping children's product enterprises to explore the international stage.
