Favorable Policies To Stimulate The Export Of Qingdao'S Textile And Clothing Industry

The reporter learned that many textile products were affected by the financial crisis in Qingdao. according to the statistics of Qingdao Customs, in January 2009, Shandong Port exported 1.3 billion US dollars of textile and clothing, an increase of 8.3% over the same period of last year (the same below). Among them, the export of clothing was 720 million US dollars, an increase of 26.3%; the export of textiles was 580 million US dollars, a decrease of 7.9%. according to the statistical analysis, the growth rate of textile and clothing export at Shandong Port has dropped sharply since August 2008, with a negative growth in December, with a monthly export of 1.24 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 2.3% and a month on month decrease of 11%. Under the stimulation of a number of national policies to help the textile industry, exports recovered in January 2009, with a year-on-year growth of 8.3% and a month on month growth of 5.5%. textile and clothing is a traditional export advantage industry in China, which is of great significance to guarantee employment and stimulate consumption. In order to ensure the healthy development of the textile industry, after increasing the export tax rebate of some textiles and garments to 14% in August and November 2008, the state issued six policies and measures to promote the healthy development of the light and textile industry on November 19 to promote the industrial upgrading. The implementation of the VAT reform program from January 1, 2009 will effectively reduce the cost of equipment purchased by textile enterprises and increase the scale of deductible value-added tax Recently, the State Council has passed the revitalization plan of textile industry in principle and further raised the export tax rebate rate of textile and clothing to 15%. The introduction of a series of new policies brings hope to the textile industry. However, textile and garment export enterprises should pay attention to the rising trend of trade protectionism. At the end of 2008, the three-year memorandum of understanding on textile and clothing trade between China and the United States expired. Although 3478 categories of export products will no longer be affected by quota restrictions from January 1, 2008, the situation is not optimistic: since December 1, 2008, the United States has issued a bi weekly statistical report on China's textile and clothing imports to monitor the import volume of China's related products After the import quota is expired, we will closely monitor China's textile and clothing exports to the United States. Since February 2009, the United States has implemented a new regulation on the import of textiles and clothing. If the textiles and garments exported to the United States do not meet the safety requirements of the United States, they will not only be destroyed, but also be severely punished. ???? In view of the above situation, relevant people of Qingdao Customs suggested that textile and garment enterprises should speed up structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, improve the core competitiveness and added value of products, accelerate the transformation from "scale oriented" to "benefit oriented"; at the same time, strengthen the monitoring and early warning of textile and clothing exports, and pay close attention to the changes in exports to Europe and the United States and related market policy changes.
