In the early summer, summer mats in Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province ushered in the peak season for export. On the 9th, after the customs officers of Huzhou Customs under Hangzhou Customs completed the on-site export phytosanitary work and released them on the spot, 13,500 bamboo mats from Zhejiang Anji Fengqiang Bamboo Art Co., Ltd. were loaded and sent to Southeast Asia.

Anji, known as "China's No. 1 Bamboo Township", ranks No. 1 in China in terms of the amount of standing bamboo, the annual output value of the bamboo industry, and the annual export volume of bamboo products. The bamboo, wood and grass industry is one of the pillar industries of foreign trade. In recent years, Huzhou Customs has performed its duties strictly, promoted the healthy development of Anji's characteristic bamboo industry, and embarked on a path of green economic development.

The key to a bamboo making an industry is quality. In order to support the export of the local bamboo industry, Huzhou Customs strictly performs its supervisory functions and controls the export quality of bamboo and wood products.

"We conducted in-depth research on enterprises, combined with on-site inspections and regular inspections, pointed out the blind spots and shortcomings of enterprises in quality management, especially traceability management, and helped enterprises improve their self-inspection and self-control systems, and achieved substantial product quality improvement through upgrading and transformation. "Xie Qingyun, chief of the First Section of Huzhou Customs Supervision, said.

Walking into Zhejiang Anji Fengqiang Bamboo Art Co., Ltd., there is a busy scene in the production workshop. The head of the company, Gao Feng, said that under the guidance of Huzhou Customs, the company's quality and safety management level has been further improved, boosting the company's export confidence. "This year we have exported more than 100 batches of products, which is a lot more than last year."

In addition, Huzhou Customs has also opened up a "green channel" on the basis of epidemic prevention and control, and implemented 7×24-hour appointment clearance, so as to "report immediately and release immediately"; play the role of "Internet +" to achieve "zero errands" in corporate registration ".

According to statistics, from January to May, there were 42 newly-qualified enterprises for exporting bamboo, wood and grass in Huzhou, and the export declaration form for bamboo and wood products was 76,402, with a value of US$1.636 billion, an increase of 57.73% and 70.46% respectively year-on-year.

Today, Anji bamboo industry has achieved a leap from the original raw bamboo trading to deep-processing chain management, but most of the bamboo, wood and grass enterprises are still family-type small, medium and micro enterprises. In 2020, affected by the epidemic, they will encounter fewer overseas orders and hinder international logistics. After the export difficulties, the operation was once in trouble.

In order to help small and micro bamboo, wood and grass enterprises go abroad and gain a firm foothold in the market, Huzhou Customs provides technical support on the one hand and guides enterprises to take targeted response measures; on the other hand, it addresses the problems of insufficient experience and lack of professional talents for small and micro enterprises. Arrange a special person to customize counseling, and guide the product through customs through the whole process.

With the help of Huzhou Customs, the county's high-quality bamboo, wood and grass products have been successfully exported to Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.
