Bengbu's traditional furniture industry exports maintain steady growth

Recently, customs officers from Bengbu Customs, a subsidiary of Hefei Customs, used a remote inspection system to conduct remote inspections on a batch of furniture such as dressing cabinets, bedside tables, office desks, and bookshelves exported from Anhui Feilex Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to the United States and Japan through video conferencing. After confirming that the cargo certificate matches and the risk is controllable, the batch of goods will be released quickly.

Since the beginning of this year, based on the characteristics of the furniture industry in its jurisdiction, Bengbu Customs has taken convenient measures such as graded and classified supervision, appointment inspection, and online document review to help enterprises reduce comprehensive costs and improve customs clearance quality and efficiency. In the first eight months of this year, the export value of furniture and its parts in Bengbu City was 152 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21%, maintaining steady growth.

In the first eight months of this year, the company's export value was nearly 40 million yuan, and its products were exported to North America, Southeast Asia and other regions.

Relying on new formats such as cross-border e-commerce, the furniture industry in Bengbu is accelerating its development. In response to the characteristics of small order batches, multiple batches, and high demand for overseas warehouse stocking in cross-border e-commerce enterprises, Bengbu Customs has established a special service team to accurately promote policies such as cross-border e-commerce export overseas warehouses (9810), guiding enterprises to standardize declaration and comply with overseas regulations. At the same time, dynamically sorting out enterprise clearance checkpoints, establishing problem ledgers, implementing closed-loop cancellation management, and helping enterprises reduce declaration error rates and logistics costs. By applying the overseas warehouse model, enterprises can achieve bulk stocking and on-demand delivery, significantly improving the response speed to the international market.
