Recently, many European countries have continued to experience a heatwave, with a surge in demand for cooling appliances such as fans and ice makers in overseas markets. The export of cooling appliances from Ningbo is entering a peak season. Entering the production workshop of Ningbo Huikang Industrial Technology Co., Ltd., the production line is operating at full capacity, and batches of ice makers that have completed quality inspection are being packed in an orderly manner and will soon be sent to various European countries. Zheng Li, the International Trade Director of the company, said, "From January to May this year, the export of ice makers by enterprises increased by 28.6% year-on-year. With the continuous increase in orders for overseas self owned brands, the demand for professional services in customs clearance efficiency, trade compliance, and response to overseas technical and trade barriers has also risen
In response to the industry characteristics of seasonal concentrated shipments and temporary surge in orders for cool home appliances, Ningbo Customs actively connects with enterprises, interprets in detail the advantages of cross-border e-commerce export supervision models such as 1210 and 9710, and guides enterprises to use overseas warehouses in comprehensive bonded zones to stock up in bulk and go abroad, connecting the complete chain of "domestic direct broadcasting and delivery - cross-border e-commerce going abroad - overseas terminal distribution", allowing self-developed, self-produced, and independently operated ice makers to directly reach global consumers, and continuously enhancing the influence of domestic overseas brands.
According to statistics from Ningbo Customs, from January to May this year, Ningbo exported cooling home appliances such as electric fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, and ice makers to Europe worth 2.73 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.7%. Among them, the export of electric fans was 950 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.3%; The export of ice machines reached 290 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.8%.
