China's Women's Shoes Production Base Huidong's Exports Increased In The First Quarter

80% of the world's women's shoes are made in China, and 80% of China's women's shoes are made in Huidong, Guangdong. Huidong As China Production base for women's shoes And Zhejiang Wenzhou (leather shoes), Fujian Quanzhou (sports shoes) and also known as China. Three big shoe cities 。

In April 16th, on the two towns of Huang Bu and Jilong Town, Huidong County, Huizhou, there were large trucks, small trucks, cars and small cars on the streets. On the many sides of the street, there were all kinds of plaque, such as shoes, shoes, leather and so on. In the past, the Chinese women's shoes wholesale center, the Asian shoe industry city, the international shoe material market and other buildings were all in a row.

There are more than 4800 shoe making enterprises, 1143 of which have export business, 326 thousand of shoe making employees, 375 of shoe making lines, more than 700 million pairs of shoes annually, and exported to 108 countries.

This is a string of gorgeous data, but can not hide the hidden worry is that these enterprises are mostly small and micro enterprises, and even many of the former shop after factory family workshop, low management level, weak risk bearing capacity, strong dependence on capital chain and so on. Since the crisis in Europe and the United States, the export volume of Huidong's shoes has been on the decline. Especially since the implementation of technical barriers to trade such as the European Union's REACH regulations, Huidong's footwear industry has been struggling, orders have been sharply reduced, export returns have been frequent, and the survival crisis has never been seen before.

In October 2011, the Guangdong Huizhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau set up a working group under the Huidong office under its jurisdiction. Its office was located at the junction of the two town of Jilong and Huang Bu, that is, the factory gate of thousands of small shoe factories.

When the working group was set up, there was no office location and no staff quarters, but all of the staff members were all excellent soldiers of the Huizhou Bureau.

Of course, the biggest trouble for the working group is not the office space and the staff quarters, but the boss of thousands of shoemaking enterprises in Huidong.

To this end, in February 20th of this year, under the instructions of the Party committee of the Huizhou Bureau, Zou Xiaolin, director of the Huidong office, led 19 comrades into 10 groups and walked from door to door to visit small shoe factories from door to door. In the 20 days, they visited all the 1143 shoemaking enterprises with export business in Huidong. They talked about the inspection and quarantine business processes one by one, the inspection and quarantine service measures, the inspection and quarantine preferential measures, and the common problems such as the lack of self-examination ability, the weak awareness of the law, and the violation of the interests of the production companies by some illegal foreign trade intermediaries.

Before the export business of Huang Po and Jilong two shoe-making enterprises, the first step was to go to the Pingshan Town 50 kilometers away from the Huidong office to report the inspection, then to test the Huizhou area 120 kilometers away, and finally to local inspection. To complete this set of processes, we must reserve 4 to 5 working days, not to mention the cost and energy of the journey. {page_break}

In view of the problems and the actual situation found in the investigation, the Huizhou Party group decided to set up the yellow port inspection and quarantine institution, and issued the "customs clearance list" through the port of the province; invested 6 million yuan at the factory gate of shoe making enterprises, built a high standard footwear specialized laboratory, guided enterprises to establish and improve the quality management system, signed a memorandum of cooperation with the customs, optimized the customs environment of Huizhou port, implemented "one to one" assistance, provided service for the small and medium-sized enterprises, implemented the sunshine project, made the whole process of government affairs public, reduced the inspection and quarantine fees, and reduced the cost of enterprises to the maximum.

As long as the direction is right, there is no white power and no sweat from white streams.

Now, the working group can carry out a one-stop service such as receiving inspection, inspection, testing, inspection, etc. the laboratory can cover all items of footwear inspection, and the test results will be reported at least half a day to a day, and the whole batch of goods can be cleared on the same day.

In addition, the Huizhou Bureau has actively implemented relevant supporting measures of its superiors. It has decided that, from 2012 onwards, small and medium sized footwear enterprises will be exempt from general certificate of origin fees and general certificate of origin fees for three consecutive years. The quality inspection fee for outbound goods will be waived and 30% charges will be waived, and 30% of the export quality inspection fee will be waived for the completion type test.

It is estimated that this year will reduce the cost of the enterprise to 20 million yuan. In the first quarter of this year, a total of 7996 batches of women's shoes and 53 million 510 thousand pairs of women's shoes were exported from Huidong women's shoes base. The value of the products was 327 million 780 thousand dollars. Now, Huidong shoe bosses are emboldened and confident.

Many shoemaking enterprises have got rid of the constraints of development for many years, and have come back to life vigorously. The silent pay and selfless dedication of the inspection and quarantine personnel are seen in the eyes of the producers, and they are written in mind. The rental office is now on the small building of Zou Qingyan, vice president of Huizhou footwear industry association and Wang Jia, general manager of Yuandong Shoes Co., Ltd.

There is still a little interlude about this renting house. At the beginning, the two sides talked about how to make a tough talk about the rent. Later, Zou Qingyan saw that the inspection and quarantine personnel did their best for the development of the footwear industry in Huidong, and resolutely put the area of more than 300 square meters in the two storeyed building that was being renovated for free to the office of the working group.

When I went to the Far East shoe industry, the workers were moving the removed production line to the warehouse.

Wang said: "this is the old semi-automatic equipment, we should eliminate it. This year, the company will upgrade its technology, upgrade its equipment and upgrade its brand. Inspection and quarantine departments at this time just brought in technology, services and testing capabilities, and more importantly, brought the development of the bottom! "

Speaking of foreign trade orders, Wang praised the inspection and quarantine department. "When there was no single time, there was no time to look for a single or a single check, but there was a single time, but worried that the contract could not be completed in time. It would take a lot of trouble to do a lot of export business then. Now it was different. The test was finished half day, and what items were requested by foreign businessmen, what items could be provided by the inspection and quarantine department, plus all the links such as inspection, inspection, inspection and so on, the customs could be cleared as soon as possible. What do you fear if you say there is such a guarantee? "

Wang watched the workers carry the old equipment into the warehouse, and watched them carry the new equipment into the production line. The entrepreneur who said he was "washing his feet ashore and had no way to retreat" firmly stated: "we have gone through the winter trough for more than 4 years. Now, the spring season of Huidong shoe industry has come!"
