Footwear Exports In Huangdao, Shandong Increased Sharply In The First Half Of The Year

Under the grim situation of trade tax policy regulation, RMB appreciation and the US subprime mortgage crisis, which is affecting China's external exports and slowing growth of foreign trade, footwear products in Huangdao area are against the market, and export growth is increasing rapidly, showing the strong vitality and competitiveness of Huangdao footwear industry.

From 1 to June this year, the Huangdao Bureau inspected 357 batches of export footwear products, the number of which was 4 million 480 thousand pairs, valued at $9 million 708 thousand, representing an increase of 44.5%, 147.8% and 158.3% over the same period last year. The main export products are cloth shoes, indoor shoes, leather shoes and children's shoes, which are mainly exported to the United States, Japan, Korea, Australia, the European Union and other countries and regions.

In the past few years, the number of export shoe manufacturers in Huangdao has always been relatively stable. The production processes of various enterprises are relatively mature, and the quality level of export footwear is relatively stable.

The main reasons for the substantial increase in export of footwear products are: first, the demand for shoes in the EU market is still very large, and the demand is more than 2 billion per year. At present, the importers of the EU have not yet found an importing country that can completely replace China. Through the mutual benefit of the exporters and importers, the importers are allowed to make profits, and the cost of anti-dumping duty is increased. Meanwhile, most of the enterprises in the jurisdiction have adjusted their export structure, and the export shoes have been greatly improved.

Two is to strengthen the independent development and design, style changes closely follow the trend of the world and quality is also the reason for the increasing number of footwear merchants in Huangdao area. Although the price is slightly less competitive than Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, Huangdao footwear exports still dominate in some major export markets, such as Europe, America and Japan.

Three, the Huangdao inspection and Quarantine Bureau actively organized the cycle inspection of export footwear, and strengthened the detection of toxic and harmful substances of raw and auxiliary materials. It not only delayed the export cycle of shoe manufacturers, but also made the products meet the requirements of foreign laws and regulations. At the same time, it meticulously organized daily inspection and supervision work to ensure that the service supervision was in place when the export volume increased.
