Why Export Goods Are In A Dilemma?

　　 Exit Goods returned home

"The tires were originally exported to Africa, but when the goods arrived in Singapore, the shippers received the notification of the cancellation of the transaction by overseas merchants and had to return half way back." Zhang Xiaoyong, deputy general manager of Bonded Logistics Department of Haicheng Banda International Logistics Co., Ltd., told reporters that since last year, the demand for warehousing and logistics of such goods has increased in Qingdao and other places. "Last year, we received five or six orders, and the volume of business began to grow this year."

Qingdao China Hong Kong warehousing Co., Ltd. also encountered this situation, deputy general manager Zhang He told reporters, "in previous years basically no such business, since the second half of last year, the number of customers came to increase significantly."

"Since last year, some companies have returned to Qingdao bonded port area for storage after waiting for the two trade transaction and then re export to other countries. The types of goods re entering the territory cover clothing "Tires, labor protection supplies, pipe fittings, food additives, etc., mainly from Japan, Australia, the United States, Hongkong and other areas to return to the territory, after re entry, most of them are going out to third countries." Huangdao inspection and Quarantine Bureau centralized examination division chief Wang Lei said.

　　 Overseas demand Sluggish

What causes the return of these commodities? The fundamental reason is the sluggish demand in overseas markets, which makes the export situation more and more serious. Overseas customers are much more picky than ever before. Sometimes they are a bit of a bone in the egg, which makes some exporters overcome difficulties and make a withdrawal. Zhang He said.

"Some overseas customers foresee no profits, then simply abandon the deposit and cancel the transaction. In order to save the losses as far as possible, domestic exporters have to go all the way to the mainland and seek new customers and export again. Zhang Xiaoyong said, at present, the export enterprises encounter the phenomenon of abandoning the list has become the norm.

In addition, increasingly frequent trade disputes, such as the failure of the two sides to change the payment term, the discrepancy between the delivery and the contract, the temporary replacement of the packaging, and the delay in goods caused by shipping cause are the reasons for the return of these export commodities.

　　 Difficult entry and exit

"At present, we can barely manage the import and export business of ordinary industrial products such as tyres, chemical products and non hazardous products". Zhang Shuangmin, customer service manager of Haicheng Banda International Logistics Co., Ltd. said that seven or eight customers have been pushed off this year.

It is understood that at present, the relevant regulatory authorities only make provisions for the goods returned for reasons such as poor quality or delay in delivery time and rejection by foreign buyers, and need to accept strict evacuation investigation, with more formalities and increased enterprise costs.

"In this way, shippers have to choose temporary bonded areas overseas, but it is very difficult to handle them effectively, making it difficult to find new customers and make re exports." Zhang Shuangmin said.

One industry insider suggested that the regulatory authorities could classify and manage the export products, increase the supervision of high-risk goods, and open the "convenient door" for low risk goods, thereby reducing the cost of enterprises and optimizing the customs environment.
