Shenzhen'S Rapid Growth In Import And Export Of Footwear In The First Half Of The Year

Reporters learned from the Shenzhen Customs on 18 th that the import and export volume of the first half of this year has increased rapidly through the Shenzhen port. The volume of imports and exports is US $22 billion 300 million, an increase of 34.9% over the same period last year, accounting for 11.2% of the total value of imports and exports by Shenzhen port. The first half of this year achieved a trade surplus of 14 billion 140 million US dollars and an increase of 42.1%.

According to statistics, from 1 to June this year, Shenzhen port exported 18 billion 220 million US dollars, an increase of 37.6%; and imports of US $4 billion 80 million also increased by 23.9%.

More than 60% of export products are electromechanical products, with total export volume reaching US $11 billion 480 million, an increase of 32.8%.

At the same time, the export of traditional labor-intensive goods has also achieved rapid growth. Among them, clothing and accessories exports increased by 2 billion 170 million US dollars, an increase of 64%; furniture and parts 1 billion 80 million US dollars, an increase of 42.8%; footwear 460 million dollars, an increase of 21.1%.

In terms of imports, the integrated circuit is the largest import variety. In the first half of this year, Shenzhen port increased 19.8% from the EU's imports of mechanical and electrical products, accounting for 66.9% of the total value of imports from the EU in the same period.

Among them, the integrated circuit imports 500 million US dollars, an increase of 36.8%; auto imports 390 million US dollars, the growth rate reached 44.8%.

It is noteworthy that the import of waste paper dropped more than 1 to 900 thousand tons, but its value increased by 74.2% to 180 million dollars.

Shenzhen customs trade experts believe that the recent European debt crisis is aggravating. Although the euro is not the main currency for foreign exchange settlement of China's export enterprises, the relative appreciation of the renminbi will weaken the price competitiveness of China's exports to EU products.

Therefore, although statistics show that the EU's import and export is still growing rapidly, but with the depreciation of the euro, the EU's exports to the EU, especially the export of traditional labor-intensive products, which are growing rapidly in the second half of the year, will be affected.
