"Four upgrades" helped lift export of electric tools

From January to August this year, Shaoxing exported 336 sets of power tools, 432,800 sets, and US$14,905,900, an increase of 22.18%, 60.53%, and 107.09% respectively over the same period of last year. It is commendable that the export unit price has been increased by US$7.74 each. It is also the first time in several years that the volume and price have increased.

Since 2006, due to the impact of rising raw material costs, labor costs, *** appreciation, international financial crisis, and technical trade barriers, the export value of electric tools in the Shaoxing region has continuously dropped. The rate of decline for the years since 2006 has been roughly 0.7%, 30.8. %, 11.1%, 22.58%. Regarding the severe situation faced by exporting power tools, the inspection and quarantine departments have been sympathetic to the goal of “improving the level of quality and safety and stable and rapid development of the service economy”. Every effort has been made to help production enterprises and promote industry upgrading with remarkable results.

First, improve the level of enterprise management and accelerate the speed of customs clearance. Taking classified management as an opportunity, it will provide key assistance to key export enterprises such as Zhejiang Jiyang Electromechanical Co., Ltd., improve and improve the quality management capabilities, help them pass the assessment of a class of companies, and provide them with immediate release, paperless inspection, etc. Preferential policies, the overall improvement of corporate grades, rapid customs clearance at the same time reduce the cost of exports.

Second, improve product quality and achieve corporate transformation. In the power tool industry, there is also a "28 theory" phenomenon, that is, 80% of profits are concentrated in high-end products of 20%. Inspection and quarantine departments spare no effort to actively foster enterprises to develop high value-added products such as double-cutting machines and engraving machines. Some low-end “chicken ribs” products occupying labor and production equipment, occupying 20% ​​of the high-end market, and developing from the OEM brand to the brand road have achieved certain results, and the related enterprises have had a lot of confidence and formed a good start.

Third, improve service levels and develop services in various aspects. Leaders of the relevant units personally led the team to the factory to conduct a thorough investigation of the current status of the company, discussed in depth with the company's management, and focused on resolving outstanding problems encountered by enterprises in the inspection and quarantine sector, and formulated corresponding service improvement measures to ensure that the service was not "short board".

Fourth, enhance the ability to control and ensure the quality and safety of export products. The Shaoxing Bureau has focused on interpreting the export power tools' working standards and dispatching related inspectors to abandon the training of electrical laboratories of the provincial bureaus to enhance the inspectors' business capabilities and strictly control the quality and safety of export products. In recent years, there has been no export of electric tools in Shaoxing. Foreign notifications and serious returns occurred.
