Factors Affecting The Technical Trade Of Export Enterprises

In recent years, many export enterprises in Zhejiang have fallen in foreign trade, and often suffer from foreign technical barriers to trade.

Yesterday, a survey report released by the Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau showed that 30% of Zhejiang's export enterprises were affected by foreign technical trade measures in different degrees last year, and the direct loss of export trade amounted to US $3 billion 608 million for the whole year. The new cost increased by US $1 billion 982 million in response to the technical requirements of exporting countries.

Last year, the volume of Zhejiang's import and export volume declined significantly compared with the previous year.

Technical trade measures become the second main factor affecting Zhejiang's exports in addition to the exchange rate.

For example, the EU regulations restrict the occurrence of azo dyes in leather, for example, the implementation of this regulation has led many Zhejiang exporters to "shut the door".

Last May, a family in Wenzhou.

The production enterprise has a batch of 126 boxes, a total of 1512 pairs of exports to France.

The amount involved is 18 thousand US dollars. When exported, the upper and inner parts have been tested. Because the enterprises want to save money, they have not detected the bottom of the leather, and neither the enterprises nor the material suppliers have signed the agreement on chemical safety procurement requirements.

As a result, these shoes were detected by foreign countries, and the problem of excessive azo dyes prohibited in the bottom of the leather was rejected by customers.

The relevant personnel of the enterprise said that because of the thin export profits, in order to save costs, no relevant materials were tested and reproduced first, resulting in "saving" hundreds of Yuan inspection fees, but it lost more than ten million RMB.

Similar experiences in export enterprises are not uncommon.

According to a survey conducted by the Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau on 1903 export enterprises, 33% of the export enterprises in the whole province are affected by foreign technical trade measures to varying degrees, and there are such cases as loss of orders, return of goods and degradation.

Of them, the loss of orders accounted for 27.96%.

From the regional perspective, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Taizhou, Shaoxing and Hangzhou ranked among the top five regions affected by foreign technical trade measures.

"Technical barriers to trade" is a great blow to export enterprises, which has a great impact on the development of Zhejiang's foreign trade.

Zhu Hong, deputy director of risk inspection department of Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said.

Statistics show that Zhejiang's exports are mostly planted on certification and veterinary drug residues.

It is understood that the technical trade measures affecting Zhejiang's exports are mainly concentrated on certification and veterinary residue limits.

According to the export enterprises of some industrial products, foreign certification requirements, technical standard requirements, toxic and hazardous substances limit requirements, environmental protection requirements, packaging and material requirements of industrial products have great influence.

The technical trade measures for the export of food and agricultural products are mainly concentrated in the requirements of pesticide residue limits, microbiological indicators, processing plants, warehouse registration requirements, heavy metal and other harmful substances in food, and food contact materials requirements.

In December last year, Japan abruptly tested two extremely stringent pesticide residues standards for Chinese tea exports, and the two standards did not meet the corresponding standards in Japan, or even were included in the annual inspection plan.

Overnight, China's tea exported to Japan almost all shelves in Japan, the output value of more than about 5000000000 yen, so that the Japanese market has a very negative impact on Chinese tea, a large province of tea export is affected by Zhejiang.

The survey also found that the impact of technical barriers to trade in emerging markets is growing.

"The United States, Japan and the European Union are the main export markets of Zhejiang, and they are also places of high technology trade measures.

The impact of these three markets on Zhejiang's export enterprises remains unchanged.

The impact of emerging markets such as Russia, Africa, Latin America and ASEAN is emerging.

Zhu Hong said countries like Saudi Arabia have also begun to implement technical barriers to trade.

Due to the gap between domestic enterprises in terms of ideas, technology, cost control, upstream and downstream industries, and other advanced international enterprises, there is still a long way to go for Zhejiang export enterprises to completely stride over the above trade barriers.

Zhu Hong said, "on the whole, technical trade measures are paying more and more attention to health, environmental protection and safety.

For Zhejiang enterprises, we need to know ourselves and prepare for the rainy day before we can better seize the opportunities and deal with trade barriers.
