Lu'an Festival Lights Up Overseas New Year
After the Winter Solstice, there is a strong chill, but the production workshop of Anhui Hongchang Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. is warm and bustling with activity. On the assembly line, workers are intensively assembling, testing, and packaging holiday lighting fixtures. Various lighting fixtures are neatly stacked in the finished product warehouse and are about to head to overseas markets such as the UK and Italy.
Anhui Hongchang Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. has been deeply cultivating overseas markets for many years, with products covering multiple series such as traditional decorative lights and intelligent control lamps. The export of holiday lighting fixtures is highly seasonal, with customers placing concentrated orders and strict delivery times. We started production and stocking up in the first half of this year, and have been in a peak period of shipment since August, "said Wen Liang, the general manager of the company." We closely follow the international market trend and develop low-energy, long-life LED lighting fixtures, as well as intelligent dimming products that meet European and American safety standards, which are highly favored by overseas markets. This year, we have added orders from multiple countries, and it is expected that the annual export value will reach 35 million yuan. ”
In response to the characteristics of "high timeliness requirements, dense export batches, and strict compliance standards" for holiday lighting fixtures, the Lu'an Customs under Hefei Customs relies on the "Hechang 2025" special action to upgrade the "one enterprise, one policy" precise assistance mechanism and make efforts to ensure efficient customs clearance of goods. At the same time, we will proactively coordinate with the export plans of enterprises, sort out the list of tariff preferences, interpret foreign technical trade measures, and provide "one-on-one" guidance specifically for product classification, label compliance, and other issues related to new lighting products.
We have been working overtime for production recently, and have also temporarily recruited more than 1000 workers from surrounding towns to meet order demands. At the same time, we have also solved employment problems for the surrounding people and increased their income, "said Wen Liang.
According to statistics, the export value of lighting fixtures in Lu'an City reached 260 million yuan in the first 11 months of this year.
Next, Lu'an Customs will continue to focus on urgent and difficult issues for enterprises, optimize customs clearance supervision models, strengthen the release of policy dividends such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and help more "Lu'an manufacturing" expand international markets, injecting sustained momentum into the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade in the old area.
