Cotton Is Distributed And Spread All Over The World.

The Yangtze River Delta is China.

Here is

A promising area for cotton producers at home and abroad

In order to give full play to the advantages of Zhangjiagang free trade zone port and region, we should further enhance the linkage of bonded zones.

In addition, in view of the significant increase in port cotton logistics and trade volume and the prominent position and leading role of Zhangjiagang bonded port in China's cotton trade market, the market joined the large enterprises of China Huafang group and Jiangsu Tian Ba group. In January 30, 2010, the cotton trade association of Zhangjiagang bonded port area was established, and an open, self disciplined and developing regional trade organization was set up to boost the orderly and healthy development of cotton trade, forming the cotton trade index of Zhangjiagang, making cotton trading price a national and even global weathervane and barometer.

The establishment of China's cotton trade network, through SMS platform, QQ group and other carriers, provides information services for more than 30 members of the chamber of Commerce.

Close cooperation with the international cotton association and the establishment of the international cotton trade Zhangjiagang workstation in September this year.

From last year to the first quarter of this year, Zhangjiagang imported 471 thousand tons of cotton, worth nearly 1 billion dollars.

Take measures to check and quarantine

Transformation and upgrading of the power industry

In recent years, with the rapid development of Zhangjiagang's open economy and the continuous growth of port strength, the volume of cotton trade has increased year by year.

In the first quarter of this year, the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau inspected and inspected 564 batches of imported cotton, valued at $290 million, representing an increase of 104% and 48.4% respectively over the same period.

In order to promote the sustained and healthy development of cotton trade, they have effectively developed the comprehensive advantages of inspection and quarantine, and introduced a number of service initiatives to boost the pformation and upgrading of the cotton industry.

Imported cotton is a key sensitive commodity. In 2004, the State General Administration put it into eight categories of products that need to strengthen inspection and quarantine supervision. In March 2009, it formally implemented the registration management and quality inspection credit rating management system for imported cotton suppliers from the mainland of China.

In this regard, the Bureau, on the one hand, publicize the importance and relevant laws and regulations of import cotton inspection and quarantine to enterprises, so that enterprises can know relevant information in time and take timely countermeasures.

On the other hand, we should strengthen the inspection of imported cotton and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of cotton trading enterprises.

In 2010 alone, 680 batches of unqualified imported cotton were detected, helping enterprises to claim $7 million 182 thousand in foreign trade.

In order to improve the accuracy of inspection results and the effectiveness of supervision, the Zhangjiagang Bureau has achieved effective supervision through "three innovations".

The innovation weighs the way, the introduction convenient, quick, the accurate "horizontal electronic weighing apparatus + the trolley weighs" the import cotton weighing way, has increased the original weighing efficiency completely 4 times.

At present, the import cotton enterprises and warehouses in Zhangjiagang have adopted this weighing method, which has been unanimously affirmed by the cotton inspection experts of the Hubei inspection and Quarantine Bureau and the Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau and other brotherhood experts. The innovation release mode has been launched and the direct release mode has been launched. On the basis of risk analysis, according to the integrity of the importing enterprises or warehousing units, the imported cotton and hemp in the United States, Australia and other countries have been gradually released, speeding up the clearance and release of goods, innovating the vehicle weighing mode, shortening the inspection cycle, reducing the weight cost and reducing the logistics cost of enterprises.

Since 2010, a total of 481 batches of 55 thousand tons of cotton in Uzbekistan has been weighed by vehicle weighing method, which has shortened the inspection time for cotton traders by 2544 hours and reduced the dumping cost of goods by 758 thousand yuan.

In view of the long inspection cycle of imported cotton, the Zhangjiagang bureau is closely related to the needs of enterprises. With the aim of "speeding up, reducing the burden and increasing efficiency", the Bureau of the special purpose of the special purpose office, emergency and emergency management, implements the early identification, implements the "5 + 2" system, and fully implements the "24 hour appointment inspection and quarantine service", and improves the efficiency of cotton in the import inspection and loading and unloading warehousing links, so as to make sure that the inspection does not miss the box and the import does not make false claims.

In addition, there is a general shortage of weight in imported cotton. If the cotton enterprises declare the contract weight when importing cotton declarations, they will pay more customs duties and write off quotas than the actual ones.

In order to allow enterprises to declare the actual weight and reduce the losses, the Zhangjiagang Bureau, in accordance with the application of the enterprises, arranges the weight inspection and identification of imported cotton in advance, completes the summary check and verification of the electronic code sheets, and shortens the inspection cycle.

At the same time, we should strengthen cooperation with the customs and the cotton market in the bonded area, so that the import cotton trade enterprises in the Zhangjiagang free trade zone can declare to the customs the actual inspection of cotton weight by the inspection and quarantine departments when they are short of imported cotton, so as to reduce the quotas and partial tariffs.

In addition, the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau has also carried out the "responsible product" activities jointly with the Propaganda Department of the Zhangjiagang municipal Party committee. On the one hand, it has implemented measures such as green channel, classified management and electronic supervision, so as to enhance the comprehensive competitive strength of enterprises.

On the other hand, we should implement "one enterprise and one strategy" for Huafang group, China Cotton warehousing and other cotton trade and logistics scale enterprises to help enterprises grow bigger and stronger.

Reasons for significant increase in imported cotton

Zhangjiagang port is the largest and most important cotton import gathering area in Jiangsu.

According to the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in the first quarter of this year, Zhangjiagang Port imported 247 batches of cotton and 91 thousand tons of cotton, and the value of goods was 200 million US dollars, up 4.2%, 16.5% and 54.4% respectively.

Import and export volume of cotton at Zhangjiagang port has risen to a record high.

Today, Zhangjiagang has become the largest foreign trade port in the Yangtze River Basin, and has freight exchanges with nearly 200 ports around the world, and the county economy has always been in the first phalanx of the whole country.

In 2010, port throughput reached the first breakthrough of 2 million tons at County ports nationwide.

Imported cotton has become one of the important pillar industries in Zhangjiagang. It imports 220 thousand tons annually, and its value is 350 million US dollars. The import volume is ranked first in Jiangsu and third in the whole country, forming one of the unique industries.

At present, Zhangjiagang's cotton imports have expanded from four or five countries and regions in the United States, West Africa and other countries in 2003 to the more than 20 countries and regions such as the United States, India, Australia and South America.

According to analysis, there are four main reasons for the recent large increase in cotton imports in Zhangjiagang: first, since 2010, the domestic textile industry has taken the lead in recovery, cotton demand has increased, the state has expanded the quota of imported cotton, and domestic inflation expectations, cotton prices have seen blowout growth, prompting domestic traders to order large quantities of imported cotton.

Two, December 31, 2010 is the deadline for the use of cotton import quotas this year. In order to avoid the expiration of the quota, the domestic cotton importing enterprises concentrated a large number of imported cotton into the port in the deadline. The Zhangjiagang bonded area is the first place of unloading for the cotton import enterprises. The pfer and diversion to Zhangjiagang for inspection results in a significant increase in the import of cotton in Zhangjiagang.

Three, with the successful operation of the Zhangjiagang bonded port in 2010, the bonded warehousing and distribution functions have been enhanced, which is more suitable for the large-scale storage of small quantities of cotton distribution business. This provides business convenience for cotton traders.

Four is the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau to enlarge the advantages of international health ports, improve the import cotton inspection and quarantine mode, and continuously enhance the quality of service in the cotton trade process, so as to maintain the leading products of the port, the imported cotton will continue to lead in the whole province and even in the whole country.

Experts remind

In imported cotton, the phenomenon of short weight and inconsistent quality is common.

In the past three years, the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau has detected 1441 batches of the 2311 batches of cotton imported.

In this regard, cotton inspection experts recommend that the vast majority of import cotton trade enterprises do "three further" and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

First, we should further enhance our awareness of self-protection.

When importing cotton, enterprises should know more about the characteristics and quality of cotton, and import suitable cotton according to their own needs and purposes.

Imported cotton belongs to the legal inspection goods in our country. The arrival of cotton should be applied for inspection in time, so that the inspection and quarantine department can timely verify the claims for foreign claims.

The two is to further improve the content of the contract.

In the import cotton trade contract, it is necessary to clarify the terms of the spinning and purchase of cotton, and use the CCIQ certificate as the basis for the settlement of the two sides.

For example, the calculation method of imported cotton weight has net settlement, public reversion settlement and restricted reversion settlement. In view of the high cotton regain rate in India, when importing India cotton, it can increase the restriction terms of moisture regain, and reduce the loss caused by the high moisture regain of cotton.

The three is to further avoid quality disputes.

In March 15, 2009, the AQSIQ formally implemented the registration management and quality credit rating management system for imported cotton suppliers from the mainland of China. Domestic enterprises can choose reputable cotton traders as trading partners according to the credit situation of the overseas cotton suppliers enterprises issued by the AQSIQ, reducing the cotton quality risk caused by traders' credit problems.

In addition, the inspection and quarantine departments should strengthen supervision over imported cotton according to the terms of China spinning cotton trade, so as to prevent trade fraud such as adulteration and adulteration.

Successfully claim $160 thousand against foreign businessmen

In January 2011, Jiangsu Huafang group imported 4 batches of cotton from India, a total of 10685 bags and 1744.6 tons, with a value of $3 million.

After the arrival of the goods, the Zhangjiagang inspection and Quarantine Bureau will immediately send someone to collect samples for inspection.

After inspection and testing, it was found that the 4 batches of India cotton were short of 89.4 tons, the short weight rate was as high as 4.9%, and the quality of the 8 tons was not up to standard, so the inspection and quarantine certificate was issued according to law.

The company has successfully made a claim against foreign businessmen for $160 thousand with the CIQ certificate issued by the inspection and quarantine department.

Foreign businessmen have no objection to the inspection results.

According to the analysis, there are two reasons for the short weight and quality of the 4 batches of cotton.

First, there is a great relationship with the poor reputation of cotton suppliers in India, because in recent years, international cotton prices have fluctuated greatly, causing cotton prices to go up, and some cotton traders are deliberately short of interest.

Two, India cotton quickly occupied the international cotton market at a low price advantage. The number of cotton exported to China continued to grow (second only to the United States), and the problems of cotton weight and quality gradually increased.

Among them, the scale of the cotton spinning industry has been second in the world, and the wool textile dyeing industry ranks among the largest worsted fabric production bases in the world.

Cotton, cotton, wool and other export varieties, mainly exported to the United States, the European Union and other more than 20 countries and regions.

In 2010, the company's self export amounted to US $270 million, and it was a national advanced enterprise.

"Huafang" brand products sell well both at home and abroad because of their excellent quality and high popularity. They have been named as China's famous brand products and national inspection free products.

"We will strengthen cooperation with big international companies such as Louis Da fir in order to ensure the quality of imported cotton in line with the price trend and production demand of the cotton market.

At the same time, we should continue to uphold the concept of "we are always surpassing", comprehensively optimize the industrial economic combination, and vigorously cultivate new bright spots for development, and strive to build the group into a modern international group with scale competitiveness and sustainable operation capability at the end of 12th Five-Year, and strive to become a world-class enterprise.
