Second, the main unfavorable factors facing the current furniture export and related suggestions
With the recovery of the economy, the international market gradually recovered. The economic indicators of countries and regions such as Europe and the United States gradually improved. The export orders of domestic furniture enterprises increased, and the export of furniture in Fujian Province showed a large increase. However, the current wave of world trade protectionism has not faded. The green barriers to furniture products are characterized by increasing diversification, integration and concealment, which seriously restricts China's furniture exports. Mainly manifested in:
First, the environmental protection threshold has become a major obstacle to furniture exports. The Green Ecolabel is an environmental labeling system that indicates that the entire process from production to use and handling meets environmental protection requirements. It is harmless or harmless to humans or the environment, and is conducive to the reproduction and reuse of resources. At present, 50 countries and regions including the European Union, Australia, and Canada have implemented a green eco-labeling system. More and more countries and regions have incorporated furniture into the target products of the green eco-labelling system. For example, the European Commission’s resolution on the criteria for granting ecolabels for wooden furniture (2009/894/EC) was implemented on November 30, 2009, stipulating that wooden furniture is prohibited from containing organic halide binders, nitrogen-acrylic rings, and polynitrogen Propylene rings, dyes and additives containing heavy metals, and the addition of flame retardants; and limits on formaldehyde emission limits in fiberboard and particleboard. Although the United States does not have a green eco-label, similar environmental requirements for furniture products are becoming more stringent. The US Standard Compound Formaldehyde for Wood Products will be implemented throughout the United States on January 3, 2011. It is the world's most stringent standard for formaldehyde emission from wood-based panels.
Second, the legality of timber has become a new difficulty in furniture exports. In recent years, Europe and the United States have become more and more demanding on the legality and sustainability of forest products, and have taken measures to limit illegal logging and timber trade. From April 1, 2010, the US Lacey Act amendments have been extended to cover all wooden furniture products, requiring importers to provide basic sources of raw materials and tree species every time they import plants or forest products. The declaration includes information on the Latin name of the wood species, the country of harvest, the quantity, size and value.
A few days ago, the Lacey Act had issued the first fine in China, and fined a US-funded company in Shanghai for US$40,000. At the same time, the European Union passed a bill prohibiting the import of illegal timber on July 7, 2010, requiring wood processing companies to provide legal proof of wood products with illegal risks and to investigate the country of origin of timber. Recently, the EU passed the "Country of Origin Labeling Law" with a high voter turnout rate. It is estimated that it will be promulgated in the first half of 2011. It also imposes strict requirements on the origin and environmental performance of imported products. The introduction of the above-mentioned bill not only increases the cost of furniture enterprises, but also because it is difficult to prove that the source of timber is legal due to different national regulations, and some sources of imported timber are not even verified, so the specific practice is difficult.
Third, the quarantine standards have become an additional requirement for furniture exports. In addition to the furniture products themselves, foreign requirements for quarantine clearance are becoming stricter. The US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Quarantine Bureau announced in 2009 the "Proposal Act - China's wooden handicrafts to the United States quarantine requirements", and submitted to the WTO on April 9 this year, the bill clearly proposed all the wood products exported to the United States, are required Must be fumigated or heat treated, issued with phytosanitary certificates, posted traceable signs, etc. The bill adds audit content to the technical management of cargo clearance and the original complex customs clearance process, which will inevitably increase the customs clearance costs of production enterprises.
To this end: First, actively promote the concept of green production, encourage furniture companies to carry out production, environmental protection of raw materials, ecological aspects, focus on the quality control of the entire process of design, production, packaging, inspection, in order to meet the relevant foreign technical requirements; Quality, design, and brand improve product quality, change “winning with honesty†as “winning by qualityâ€, thereby enhancing the international core competitiveness of China's furniture enterprises; third, actively developing new foreign markets outside Europe, America and Japan to achieve diversification Export to effectively reduce export risks.
