The spring equinox has passed, and all things are reviving. At this moment, the "toothbrush capital of China", "hotel and daily necessities capital of China", and the world's largest oral care and toiletries industry base - the Hangji Town Industrial Park in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province - are experiencing a strong spring atmosphere. Thousands of daily chemical products enterprises, large and small, such as toothbrushes, are busy producing and catching foreign trade orders, preparing to sail out to seize a larger international market.

Jiangsu Sanxiao Group Co., Ltd. is a "veteran level" toothbrush production enterprise in Hangji Town, with 95% of its business products being toothbrushes. In the factory building of Sanxiao Group, rows of automated production machines are orderly completing their respective set processes: handle injection molding, brush implantation, brush polishing, etc; Outside the factory building, forklifts and trucks shuttle back and forth, loading and shipping boxes of products that are about to be shipped overseas

We have pre arranged our foreign trade orders until June, and the volume of foreign trade orders in the first quarter of this year has increased by 25% compared to the same period last year. "Wang Min, General Manager of Sanxiao Group, introduced that after nearly a year of credit cultivation by Yangzhou Customs, a subsidiary of Nanjing Customs, the company successfully passed AEO certification at the end of 2021 and became a senior certified enterprise by customs. Advanced certification enterprises can enjoy low inspection rates and other conveniences, greatly improving customer satisfaction, and adding a lot of points to the company's foreign trade market. With the AEO 'Golden Sign', our foreign trade order volume has grown rapidly in major export markets such as Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and the European Union. Since March, the company has been going overseas every month to participate in exhibitions. This year will be a year to seize the opportunity and make full efforts. "Wang Min is full of confidence.

As an old brand toothbrush enterprise, Beijiajie Group Co., Ltd. has stepped out of the traditional industry's "comfort zone" and accelerated its transformation and upgrading. It has expanded from producing a single toothbrush product to an industrial business layout that covers oral and personal care products such as dental floss, interdental brushes, and wipes. We used to be the 'singles champion' who relied on toothbrushes to fight all over the world, but now we have transformed into an 'all-round player' in oral care, "said Zhang Wensheng, Chairman of Beijia Jie Group, In response to the development of new products, customs have guided us to adjust the process formula according to foreign standards, helping us avoid technology trade restrictions in advance and successfully expand into new overseas markets. In 2022, the company's export sales increased by 20% year-on-year. This year, foreign trade orders have been scheduled to May, and the volume of foreign trade orders has increased by 30% year-on-year

The breakthrough of the small toothbrush into a "global champion" is inseparable from the efforts of enterprises to increase production and research investment and vigorously explore overseas markets, as well as the regulatory authorities to closely follow the high-quality development of foreign trade, fully leverage their functional role and technological advantages, and focus on providing services for the transformation needs of enterprises.

We have carried out a series of AEO credit cultivation and intellectual property training to help enterprises create new export competitive advantages with technology, brand, and quality as the core. We have established a third-party platform for customs technology centers, industry associations, and enterprises, strengthened technical guidance, stimulated innovation vitality of enterprises, realized the shift of products from low added value to high value, promoted the transformation and upgrading of the traditional toothbrush industry, and deeply cultivated the international market, "Tang Renjun, the director of Yangzhou Customs, told reporters, In the future, focusing on supporting the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries and the expansion and strengthening of characteristic industries, actively integrating resources and leveraging functional advantages remains one of the key tasks of Yangzhou Customs. "We will continue to make efforts in customs clearance convenience, application of origin policies, credit cultivation, and technology trade services, and do a good job in 'specialty' articles to empower the high-quality development of local characteristic industries
