The 'other economy' stimulates new momentum in foreign trade, and Songjiang pet food accelerates the 'circle of fans' overseas
On the occasion of International Cat Day on August 8th, a batch of high-quality cat food produced in Songjiang, Shanghai was sent to Southeast Asia under the supervision of Songjiang Customs, a subsidiary of Shanghai Customs. Amidst the continuous warming of the global "pet economy" and the rapid growth of pet food exports, Songjiang Pet Food is accelerating its expansion into the global market and gaining popularity. In the first six months of this year, the export of pet food in Songjiang District was 75.379 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.4 times.
With the explosive growth of the global pet consumption market, the standards for pet food in overseas markets are constantly rising. To help enterprises in the jurisdiction seize development opportunities, Songjiang Customs provides advanced services, accurately benchmarking international economic and trade rules, focusing on key export markets such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc., carefully sorting out access requirements and inspection and quarantine standards, and providing customized services such as policy promotion and on-site guidance to help enterprises quickly adapt to overseas new regulations.
The high technical barriers and fast standard updates in the overseas pet food market were once the major difficulties for us to grab international orders, "said the foreign trade manager of Shanghai Fubei Pet Products Co., Ltd. Fortunately, the customs provided us with timely support and tailored compliance guidance plans for us, giving us more confidence in exploring overseas markets
In order to make it more convenient for pet food to go abroad, Songjiang Customs has opened an export green channel, implemented appointment inspection and priority release, and combined with the "cloud issuance" of inspection and quarantine certificates to achieve "zero errands and instant certification" for enterprises, reducing their operating and time costs. While improving customs clearance efficiency, the customs strictly implement safety risk monitoring, conduct targeted inspections for safety and hygiene indicators, help enterprises improve the quality control and traceability system of pet food throughout the process, and ensure the safety of pet food.
