Trade Barriers Continue To Tighten And Trade Risks Continue To Grow.

Since June this year, Premier Wen Jiabao visited China.

After the signing of the Sino South Korean joint declaration with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the market prospects between China and the members of the Communist Party of South Korea are gratifying.

However, it is worth our vigilance that in the face of opportunities for development, the trade barriers of South American countries represented by the four countries are also becoming more stringent in recent years, and the potential trade risks are increasing.

- technical barriers to trade have been intensive.

Since 2011, Brazil, Argentina and other countries have issued a series of technical barriers to trade, and the frequency has increased significantly. Among them, only Brazil's TBT bulletin for air conditioners, refrigerators and other electrical products has been reached 30.

From the products concerned, consumer goods such as children's toys, household appliances and baby products have become the main concern of South American countries, and such products are the main export commodities of our country.

At the same time, import certification and licensing measures have become important technical barriers to trade in South American countries.

Quality requirements are in line with developed countries in Europe and the United States.

According to the specific contents of technical barriers, the quality requirements of plasticizer in toys such as plasticizer limits, household appliances' energy efficiency requirements, food packaging safety and hygiene in recent years have shown obvious follow up with the requirements of developed countries such as Europe and America. After the European Union banned bisphenol A bottles, Brazil and Paraguay also issued a ban on bisphenol A bottle bottles.

In response to the continuous introduction of energy efficiency instructions in Europe and the United States, Argentina and Brazil have also issued notices in succession, raising the requirements of energy efficiency indicators for electrical appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators.

- the import restrictions on anti-dumping are increasing.

Apart from technical measures, since 2011, members of the Communist Party of South China have also implemented a series of measures.

Imported consumer goods such as footwear, textiles and plastic products have been greatly impacted by import restrictions.

For example, Argentina has issued three resolutions to set up new value standards for baby carriages and plastic kitchenware and other products.

If the import declaration price is lower than the standard, the margin premium should be paid.

Since 2010, Brazil has imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese footwear, and has tightened its restrictions again. It has decided to impose a 182% surcharge on semi-finished products and accessories from China.

Because of the huge import volume and low price, many "made in China" goods have become the primary target of Brazil and other countries.

According to statistics from Shishi Office of Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, from 2012 to August, the 364 lions of goods exported to South American countries were exported to Shishi District, and the goods cost 19 million 262 thousand and 900 US dollars.

The products are mainly related to textiles, clothing, footwear, toys, chemicals, electrical and mechanical equipment.

Among them,

Large quantities of products occupy a considerable proportion in other jurisdictions. In 1-8 months, we exported 204 batches of South American textile and clothing, worth 11 million 499 thousand and 700 US dollars, 115 export footwear and 5 million 25 thousand and 200 US dollars worth.

In view of this, Shishi Office of Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds export enterprises:

In view of the quality requirements of the members of the Communist Party of South China and the continuous approach of the European and American countries, enterprises should change their concepts in time, pay close attention to the quality control measures of these countries for imported goods, understand the specific contents and details of the new regulations and standards in advance, and promptly improve the product design, adjust the production process and improve the standards of self inspection and self-control according to the requirements, so as to ensure that the quality of products meets the requirements of the importing countries.

- strengthen the investigation of the local market and avoid the adverse situation such as anti-dumping caused by the fierce competition between the export products and the domestic industry of the importing countries, and grasp the initiative of business development.

Conditional enterprises should further increase their cooperation and innovation with scientific research institutes, constantly develop new products, increase the added value of products, avoid falling into a vicious circle of low price competition, and fundamentally enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.

Strengthening communication and liaison with functional departments such as inspection and quarantine, relying on the advantages of relevant departments in technology, information and policies, and providing detailed reference for product development, quality control and market development of enterprises. If necessary, they can ask relevant agencies to make corresponding quality inspection and compliance verification for relevant export products, and resolve export risks ahead of time, so as to escort the export business smoothly.
