Qingdao autumn clothing 'rushing orders' to go abroad
At present, it is the "Golden September" shipment window period for foreign trade. In the autumn of the Northern Hemisphere, new and stocked goods are launched in a concentrated manner. The production lines of Qingdao textile and clothing enterprises, which are hot in production and sales, are running at full speed. Batch after batch of fashionable hoodies, knitted jackets, leisure suits and other autumn clothing are packed and sent to retail terminals around the world after completing customs supervision and clearance procedures.
As an important gathering place for the textile and clothing industry in China, Qingdao has a profound foundation in the textile and clothing industry, a complete industrial chain, and products that sell well in overseas markets. As the weather gradually cools down, overseas supermarkets and brand retailers have launched early preparations for autumn and winter product reserves, leading to a surge in demand for clothing production companies' shipments.
The new pace of autumn clothing in overseas markets is tight, and orders are characterized by short delivery times, multiple batches, and small batches, which puts higher demands on the customs clearance efficiency and logistics turnover speed of our products, "said Xu Weiyi, the customs contact person of Qingdao Yijiu Clothing Co., Ltd.
As a rising foreign trade enterprise, the company specializes in knitted casual clothing, with core products including men's and women's hoodies, knitted jackets, casual suits, sportswear and other categories. The products are exported to overseas regions such as Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. It is reported that in the first eight months of this year, the company exported autumn clothing worth 1.05 million yuan, with particularly strong growth in the past two months.
In order to ensure that enterprises fulfill their obligations and deliver on time, Qingdao Dagang Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, is based on the characteristics of the industry in its jurisdiction, actively connects with enterprises, understands the clearance needs during peak seasons, and implements convenient measures such as early declaration and appointment clearance to help autumn clothing enterprises seize the opportunity in the international market. At the same time, the customs continue to provide early warning services for foreign technical trade measures, regularly issue trade risk warnings around textile safety standards in countries and regions such as the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, conduct compliance education and training, guide enterprises to control product quality and safety, and avoid export risks.
With the guidance and assistance of customs, we have steadily held onto our existing overseas customers and created favorable conditions for us to explore new overseas channels, "said Xu Weiyi.
The customs will focus on the export demand of the textile and clothing industry during the peak season, implement various trade facilitation reform measures, help Qingdao's high-quality textile and clothing products sail overseas, and continue to consolidate the good trend of stable growth in foreign trade, "said Ying Jun, head of the Comprehensive Business Department of Qingdao Dagang Customs stationed in Chengyang District.
