EU new regulations "green barriers" furniture companies face no panic

Furniture companies face no panic">

Chinese companies that have undergone market-changing tests are more sensitive to the “smell” of changes in international rules. The EU Wood and Wood Products Regulation, which was enacted on March 3, is nothing new for the furniture companies participating in the 113th Canton Fair. Because the implementation rules of the countries within the EU are not clear at present, many exhibitors have different views on the cost increase or other possible impacts.

However, whether it is head-on cooperation or the EU's new regulations is another kind of “green barrier”, exhibitors did not feel too much accident. “Accepting, digesting, and resolving” is almost the attitude of all enterprises, and this is the most basic attitude of Chinese companies that have responded to the international financial crisis.

Leading foreign certification agencies to seize business opportunities

On the first day of the second phase of the Canton Fair, the number of buyers of furniture booths increased significantly compared with the previous session. Although we have to take into account the visits and consultations of our customers from time to time, when we talked about the EU timber and wood products regulations recently implemented, Hu Song, the manager of the business of Ningbo Alte Furniture Co., Ltd., said that the impact on the company exists, when the customer requests When exporting companies must prove the legitimacy of their raw materials for furniture, companies need to find relevant institutions for certification, "but not very big."

However, he is more willing to talk to reporters from an interesting phenomenon: Not long ago, Alte sent representatives to participate in a seminar organized by the internationally renowned inspection and certification body BV.

Earlier, the China Light Industry Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce furniture branch revealed in an interview with the International Business Daily that there are no rules in the current regulations. For this reason, many foreign certification bodies have begun to seize the opportunities and apply for certification qualifications from the European Union. As one of the earliest professional organizations to provide certification, BV also specially asked an IT company in Germany to design a timber legality certification system.
