Utilizing the Asian Games Dongfeng Sports Equipment Export to Run 'Acceleration'

On September 19th, the 20th Nagoya Asian Games kicked off in Japan. When global attention is focused on the arena, a batch of cargo ships carrying 26 tons of dumbbells are about to set sail from the port to Thailand. The Asian Games not only boosted sports consumption, but also injected strong momentum into the export of sports equipment.

Customized services break down barriers and provide precise solutions to overcome obstacles

Baoding has a wide range of sports equipment exports, including bar dumbbells, javelin, Pommeled Horse, dynamic bicycles and other products, which are exported to more than 30 countries and regions around the world. In order to fully guarantee the export of sports equipment, Baoding Customs, under the jurisdiction of Shijiazhuang Customs, has formed a policy preaching team to customize exclusive courses based on the characteristics of production enterprises and products. The team will provide a detailed interpretation of the import country access standards, tariff policies, and intellectual property regulations for exporting to the Asian market, and guide enterprises to declare in a standardized manner. Guide enterprises to use various preferential certificates of origin such as RCEP, China ASEAN, and China South Korea, and utilize the "intelligent review+self-service printing" mode to achieve 24/7 instant review and signing, with "zero errands" for enterprise certificate of origin application. Establish a directory of AEO key cultivated enterprises, implement "one-on-one" dedicated personnel docking, accurately push and interpret relevant regulatory requirements, and help export products meet the safety and environmental standards of importing countries and regions.

The customs not only helped us solve the clearance problem, but also took the initiative to visit and promote preferential policies. Now, we can handle many businesses without leaving our homes, and the clearance efficiency has been more than doubled, "sighed Shi Hu, the head of the foreign trade department of Hebei Junshang Sports Goods Co., Ltd." This year, our company has also opened up multiple new markets in Asia, all of which cannot be separated from the help of customs

According to statistics, from January to August this year, Baoding exported sports goods worth 115 million yuan. Baoding Customs issued 117 preferential certificates of origin for sports goods exports, with a visa amount of 11.5986 million yuan, an increase of 21.87% and 20.60% year-on-year, respectively.

Leading services improve efficiency, providing full chain assistance to expand the market

While Baoding sports equipment is sailing out to sea, the ball making workshop in Luofa Town, Anci District, Langfang City is also bustling with activity. Cutting, trimming, high-frequency transfer printing, ball sticking, shaping, inspection... On the production line of Chunguang Sports Goods Co., Ltd., each soccer ball, volleyball, and basketball gradually takes shape in the hands of workers. The ball making industry in Luofa Town has a history of over 30 years, gathering more than 30 processing enterprises and forming a complete industrial chain from raw materials to finished balls. The products are exported to countries such as Italy, Germany, and Morocco, driving thousands of local employment opportunities.

Liu Chunguang, the general manager of Chunguang Sports Goods Co., Ltd., is currently busy coordinating a batch of orders to Italy. Previously, we didn't understand the specific process of international trade and mostly exported through traders. After Langfang Customs established the 'one enterprise, one policy' service mechanism, it not only provided interpretation of foreign trade policies, but also guided us in carrying out compliant declaration of outbound goods. Now that we are conducting international trade ourselves, understanding the needs of overseas customers is more direct, and the profit margin is also greater, "said Liu Chunguang." Since the beginning of this year, we have actively expanded our overseas new customers, and exported more than two million yuan in the first eight months.

The transformation of Chunguang Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is a vivid reflection of Langfang Customs, a subsidiary of Shijiazhuang Customs, supporting the development of local characteristic pillar industries in the international market. In response to the export characteristics of "small batches, multiple batches, and high timeliness" of sports goods, Langfang Customs has planned in advance, provided advanced services, and coordinated with the export port customs to establish a "port+territory" fast customs clearance communication mechanism, fully utilizing policies such as "advance declaration" and "direct loading upon arrival" to improve the efficiency of goods clearance. At the same time, Langfang Customs continues to carry out the "visit and promotion" activity for foreign trade enterprises, collecting their demands through multiple channels, helping them overcome difficulties, and assisting them in grabbing orders and expanding markets.

The relevant person in charge of Langfang Customs stated, "We will continue to pay attention to the development demands of enterprises, and through precise services, effectively help enterprises solve practical difficulties and promote high-quality development of foreign trade." According to statistics, from January to August this year, the total value of sports balls such as football, basketball, and volleyball exported from Langfang City was 5.4309 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.08%.
