Cool clothing sets sail with the wind

With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, the demand for cool clothing such as outdoor sun protection clothes, quick drying clothes, and breathable casual summer clothes continues to rise overseas. The export of related products in China is entering a peak season for production and sales, and production enterprises are working hard to seize overseas seasonal orders.

Recently, in the production workshop of Qingdao Yimei Fashion International Trade Co., Ltd., workers were busy sorting, packaging, inspecting and stocking a batch of cool women's clothing. Subsequently, this batch of cool clothing worth 240000 yuan was supervised by Qingdao Dagang Customs under Qingdao Customs and sent to East Asia.

The company is a clothing enterprise that specializes in exporting functional knitted cool clothing for summer. Its main products include cool home wear, sports short sleeves, outdoor cool suits, cool underwear, etc. In the first five months of this year, enterprises exported various types of cool clothing worth over 60 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%.

We specialize in cooling and sun protection functional clothing, using high molecular weight polyethylene material for faster thermal conductivity and heat dissipation. The upper body has a sense of ice, and the fabric is lighter, thinner, and more breathable, which meets the outdoor wearing needs of overseas consumers, "said Wang Meisong, Vice General Manager of the enterprise." Compared with ordinary clothing, summer cool clothing has the characteristics of strong seasonality, short delivery cycle, and fast category updates, and has higher requirements for customs clearance efficiency, declaration standards, and logistics connection

In order to assist relevant enterprises in the jurisdiction to seize seasonal market opportunities and ensure efficient, compliant, and smooth customs clearance of cool clothing, Qingdao Dagang Customs focuses on its regulatory service function, accurately analyzes market dynamics, and proactively investigates the export plans of textile and clothing enterprises in the jurisdiction. It establishes a support ledger for cool clothing export enterprises and accurately matches their service needs in customs clearance, policy enjoyment, and compliance declaration.

In response to the problems of inaccurate product classification, unclear national standards, and irregular customs declaration in some small and medium-sized clothing enterprises, we have established a business assistance team. Through on-site visits, online lectures, one-on-one Q&A, and other methods, we focus on interpreting the entry standards, quality inspection requirements, and tariff policies of different export destination countries' textiles, guiding enterprises to standardize product classification and improve declaration materials. "Zhao Gang, the head of the Second Department of Comprehensive Business at Qingdao Dagang Customs, introduced.

The efficient customs clearance process allows our cool clothing to be cleared quickly and delivered on time, effectively alleviating the shipping pressure during the peak production and sales season, "said Wang Meisong.

According to statistics, in the first five months of this year, Qingdao Dagang Customs supervised the export of various types of cool clothing worth 1.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%. (Li Lin, Chu Jie, Qi Huaipeng/Wen)
