China is the world's largest toy exporter, with exports accounting for about 30%. 2007 China's toy exports 8.47 billion U.S. dollars, up 20%. Among them, the largest in Guangdong exports, 58.8 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 69.4%, 22.5% higher than last year. By trade barriers and other factors, Shandong Province in recent years has been the slow growth of exports of toys, has withdrawn from the province of the top 20 export categories listed. Exports in 2006 only by 0.7% over the previous year, export of 340 million U.S. dollars in 2007, an increase of 7.5%, much lower than in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other cities. In 2008, Shandong Province, the pressure on toy exports will become more prominent.
First, a wide range of trade barriers, more stringent measures. For the special protection of the health of children, toy products have been strictly controlled by governments one of the products. EU trade barriers the most demanding, July 1, 2006, the European Union formally "on the electrical and electronic equipment directive restricting the use of certain hazardous substances" (ROHS Directive), requirements include video games, including all exports to the EU electrical and electronic products, the use of lead, cadmium, mercury and other harmful substances content of 6 can not exceed the maximum limit orders. The directive is considered the most stringent to date for such products the environmental laws and regulations. October 16, 2006, China and the EU reached a "road map for safer toys" agreement, ask the Chinese exports of toys must meet the relevant safety standards, including plastic, steel and other raw materials meet the requirements of even the standard of medical products. January 2007, the EU started on phthalates (commonly used plastic softener products) of new guidance standard, which limits the use of children's toys, including phthalate esters, including 6 already compounds. July 1, 2008, the EU will fully implement the most stringent testing standards "of Chemicals Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of system" (that is, "REACH legislation"), almost all toy products. Apart from the EU, other countries are also additional barriers continue to limit imports of Chinese toys, such as Russia have been because "some Chinese toys containing toxic substances, exceeding" to stop the sale of related toys in Russia; Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, China Zeng Yi from China 3 toys imported domestic toy industry as the reason for damage to the joint application to the WTO, China's toy to take special protective measures to restrict imports of Chinese toys; the United States on China's exports toys in addition to CPSC sampling and recall system, the Toy Association also requested that members Starting in 2006 only to commercial operation through the International Council of Toy standard certified suppliers purchasing toys. January 1, 2009, the United States, California will ban the production, sale or distribution of phthalate concentration more than 0.1% of the toys and childcare products. In addition, Japan and Australia are also toys with our export most stringent technical standards.
Green trade barriers to increase exports of China's toy is another obstacle. With consumer awareness of environmental protection, Europe and the United States on the manufacture of toys and toy packaging materials made more stringent requirements, non-renewable or recyclable materials will not be able to enter the local toy market. Toy exports to the EU and packaging (including outer and inner box) the material used, must comply with EU environmental requirements. In addition to strict EU toy safety directive to comply with CE mark, also called the box printed "recycling signs", so that consumers deal with. EU impact on the environment for products and packaging materials, particularly plastic materials, will implement more stringent management.
Second, the direct impact of short-term recall of events is difficult to eliminate. Since June 2007, the United States RC2, Mattel and other toy companies have to excessive heavy metals, there are security risks by multiple batches of recalled toys in our country of origin up to more than 3000 million. Japan, Peru and other countries have implemented restrictions on Chinese toy recall or. This seriously undermined the international reputation of our toys and toy industry interests, to expand exports cast a shadow.
Third is more pronounced upward pressure on manufacturing costs. RMB appreciation, rising labor costs, high raw material prices, lower export tax rebate and processing trade policy and various certified limit cost increases should lead to a substantial increase in the cost of toy exports. According to financial experts predict that the yuan will continue to appreciate, to the end of 2008, an increase of up to 10%, this increase will affect the cost of toy production increased by 2% to 4.5%. I am an expert from China Chemicals Products, usually analyzes all kind of industries situation, such as dutch apple pie , artificial bonsai trees.
