Domestic rain gear is popular overseas

With many parts of the world entering a period of concentrated rainfall, the demand for raincoats, rain boots, umbrellas and other rain gear procurement in overseas markets continues to rise, and related export enterprises are entering a peak export period throughout the year.

In recent years, domestic raincoats have been highly favored by overseas distributors due to their outstanding advantages such as excellent waterproof performance, diverse styles, wear resistance, lightweight, and low cost. Overseas buyers are placing orders in advance, covering a full range of products such as daily commuting lightweight raincoats, outdoor high-strength waterproof raincoats, and construction site workwear rain pants. The order volume during peak season has significantly increased compared to the off-season.

We have continued to receive overseas orders since the beginning of the year, and the increase in orders is particularly significant after July, "said Liu Naijin." The customs exclusive seasonal customs clearance service has greatly shortened the clearance time of our goods, ensured our stable performance, and further enhanced the competitiveness of our products in the overseas market. "According to statistics, this enterprise exported various raincoats, rain pants and other products worth 15.38 million yuan in the first five months of this year.
