< p > Switzerland has always been the main production place of textile machinery and testing equipment, and occupies a large proportion in the output of the world's textile machinery and testing equipment.

As a big textile County, the import of advanced textile machinery equipment by Swiss textile enterprises to Switzerland has always been the focus of trade.

It is understood that last year our county imports amounted to 5 million 160 thousand US dollars, mainly concentrated textile machinery equipment.

Apart from importing high-end spinning machines and other equipment, the reporter learned that textile and garment exports are the focus of our county's export to Switzerland in the past P.

"This year, our county has more than 20 foreign trade enterprises to maintain business relations with the Swiss market."

County Business Bureau official said.

A high-end women's fabric company in Textile City has been exporting to Switzerland through middlemen in recent years. The company's operator introduces that Swiss consumers favor fine and high-end products, and their brand dependence is quite high. Therefore, the development of Swiss market in our county textile enterprises must rely on local brands such as a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > dress < /a > and so on.

< p > the implementation of the Sino Swiss FTA agreement has a greater positive impact on our county's foreign trade enterprises, which is to increase the new channels for developing the EU market.

Switzerland is a non EU country, but it belongs to the European Economic Zone with the European Union, and has signed about 120 cooperation agreements with each other to implement free trade.

The relevant person in charge of the County Commerce Bureau said that although the establishment of the FTA based on the restrictions of origin, it does not mean that Shaoxing products can freely enter the EU market with Switzerland as a springboard, but it still extends the EU market to a certain extent, and exports to Shaoxing semi manufactured goods to Switzerland.
