Domestic stationery travels overseas smoothly
On August 24th, in the Dianshi Science and Technology Innovation Industrial Park located in Laixi, Qingdao, the robotic arm operated precisely, the automated production line operated in an orderly manner, and the exquisitely designed neutral pens were successfully taken offline one by one. Under customs supervision, this batch of neutral pens worth 108000 yuan will be sent to the Thai market.
With innovative design and excellent quality, as well as years of deep cultivation in the international market, domestically produced high-quality stationery has gained recognition from a large number of overseas consumers. Among them, export enterprises represented by Qingdao Dianshi Stationery Products Co., Ltd. have developed more than 500 independent brand models in four categories, including neutral pens, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and art pens, in the field of student stationery.
We create customized products tailored to the needs of different groups. For users who need to develop writing habits, we use a soft and hard dual adhesive grip pen design and develop a quick drying ink pen. For users who want to preserve their signature handwriting for a long time, we develop a water-resistant and light resistant ink pen. For users who need a quiet writing environment, we develop a silent 'time and space cabin' touch pen, "said Zhang Hongmei, the head of the company's overseas business.
It is reported that the overseas brand WRITECH created by the enterprise has established authorized distribution cooperation with more than 60 countries and regions around the world, covering markets such as the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Southeast Asia. In the first seven months of this year, the enterprise exported various types of stationery worth 43.3 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5%.
In order to effectively address the characteristics of multiple batches, high timeliness, and strict entry requirements for stationery exports, Qingdao Dagang Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, has regularly launched the "Customs Chief Delivery Policy Door to Door" service, timely pushing the upgrading of technical trade measures and new entry regulations for stationery from various countries, helping enterprises avoid export risks in advance, and building a bottom line for compliant operation.
We actively implement trade facilitation policies, comprehensively promote facilitation measures such as advance declaration, appointment clearance, and appointment inspection, and significantly reduce the clearance time of goods, "said Zhao Gang, the head of the Second Department of Comprehensive Business at Qingdao Dagang Customs. At the same time, the customs promote self-service printing of certificates of origin, allowing enterprises to quickly enjoy tariff preferences under free trade agreements, achieving faster clearance, cost reduction, and direct dividends.
According to statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Shandong Province exported nearly 700 million yuan worth of pens and their parts. Next, Qingdao Dagang Customs will continue to deepen the optimization of the port business environment, focus on the characteristics of the light industry stationery export industry, establish a rapid response mechanism for enterprise export problems, target and solve the pain points and difficulties of enterprises going abroad, and fully promote local high-quality stationery enterprises to explore the global market.
