Advanced feather quarantine policy adjustment industry development ushered in spring

□ Our reporter Shi Xiaofei

On August 30, nearly a hundred people from feather down import and export enterprises across the country poured into a online conference room. On this day, the China Deep Industry Association held an online explanation meeting for the introduction of feather quarantine measures in the country. Interpretation of new measures for washing feathers with feathers. On August 25th, the new policy of washing feathers with feathers was promulgated and implemented, which brought great convenience to feather down imports. Yao Xiaoman, the chairman of the China down Industry Association, said that the adjustment of import policies is conducive to expanding import feathers, complementing the shortcomings of domestic trade transformation and upgrading, optimizing the domestic market competition pattern, and it is of great significance to the complete supply chain of the down industry and the high -quality development of the industry. Essence

Optimization of quarantine measures

"Turbidity ≥50mm"

On August 25, the General Office of the General Administration of Customs was officially implemented with a new policy of entering the territorial feather quarantine.

The biggest change in this adjustment is to adjust the standard of water -washing feathers to "turbidity ≥50mm". Under the premise of qualified on -site inspection, the turbidity can be released; if the turbidity detection is not qualified, the bird flu virus detection is performed on the batch of feather sampling.

If the virus test results are positive, the enterprise notify the enterprise in accordance with the law to return or destroy the goods; the test results are negative, and the batch of goods will be released after the portal and the company's willingness. The portal of the customs designated by the customs under the jurisdiction of the port is completely washed after washing the feather down processing enterprises.

The turbidity is an intuitive indicator of measuring the quality of feather down water. Generally, the turbidity of the turbidity of the sample water washing solution is generally used to obtain the turbidity of the plush. Yao Xiaoman told reporters that before, the inspection of the imported down feathers adjusted the standard of washing feathers to "turbidity ≥500mm", which was too harsh for imported a large amount of roughly washed down feathers (the raw materials that needed to be washed again).

Difficult to import feathers

Contributed to strict indicators?

Why is the optimized quarantine measure this time is a significant measure for the down industry?

Digitals from the China down Industry Association show that my country is a major feather processing country, and 90%of the world's processing capabilities are in China. Feather imports are a supplement to insufficient domestic raw materials, a leverage for market regulation, and the need for machining overseas. It plays an important role in my country's industry supply chain complete and market stability. In recent years, in order to meet the needs of domestic processing, my country's imported feathers have been increasing.

In 2021, my country imported 28512 tons of feathers and 45,787 tons of feathers. The import volume accounted for 62.3%. The average unit price of exports exceeds twice the average unit price of imports. The feathers are imported at a low price, and the finished velvet is made through water washing, and then exported at high prices or to meet domestic demand. This is the purpose of importing feather raw materials. The raw materials imported from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and other places are high -quality and low quality and low quality, which is welcomed by domestic feather down processing companies.

However, since 2020, the China Deep Industry Association has continuously received the report from foreign raw materials exporters and domestic enterprises. Unable to clear customs, causing long -term stagnation of Hong Kong, and even returned or destroyed.

It was learned from the China down Industry Association's survey that my country used national standard GB/T 17685-2016 "Plel Feather" in the "down feathers" of imported feathers. However, this standard is for water washing down (finished velvet). A large number of imported rough -washing feather raw materials (required further processing) can hardly be tested by laboratory.

The main purpose of the inspection of feather feather quarantine is to prevent the introduction of viruses such as avian influenza and Xincheng epidemic. This caused some feathers that needed water washing to enter the country, which caused restrictions on industrial development.

The association actively reflects industry demands

Proposal and feasible suggestions

The reporter was informed that on the basis of multiple investigations, the China down Industry Association reflected the policy issues existing in feather imports to the customs authority through formal writing, and proposed that the quarantine security indicators of the virus inspecting the virus instead of GB/T 17685-2016 "down down the down" "Feather" related quality indicators, as suggestions for import feather inspection standards.

On December 8, 2020, the China Deep Industry Association organized a seminar on imported down down in Beijing to invite relevant customs leaders and some imported enterprise representatives to discuss. The meeting believes that the customs clearance standards of the customs are indeed obviously unreasonable. A new applicable standard should be introduced and deployed and used after verifying its scientific and rationality. For more than a year after the meeting, the association continued to verify the solution through domestic and foreign experience exchanges, testing data collection, results analysis, and field research, and maintained close communication with the customs department.

At the end of July 2022, Yao Xiaoman wrote to the General Administration of Customs and reported to Director Yu Jianhua the significance, existing problems and policy adjustment of my country's feathers and down imports to Director Yu Jianhua, and put forward practical feasibility to adjusting the improving measures of feathers and down -to -feather down quarantine measures. Suggest. It is reported that Director Yu Jianhua made an important instruction on the day of receiving the letter, asking the relevant departments to optimize the quarantine measures to adjust the entry feathers as soon as possible. IDFB sends a new policy notice

Industry ushered in the spring of development

Yao Xiaoman said that the implementation of the new policy of this time not only effectively guarantees the quarantine safety of entering feathers, but also broaden the green and convenient channel for import feathers, which is conducive to the industry's expansion of import scale, supplement the shortcomings of domestic trade transformation and upgrading, optimize the domestic market The competitive pattern is of great significance to the complete supply chain of China's down industry and the high -quality development of the industry, and has become a milestone in the history of industry development.

The most authoritative international organization of the down industry, the International Deep Bader Bureau (IDFB), has sent a notice on China's new policy of adjusting down feather imports to all members on September 1.

At the same time, Yao Xiaoman, who is the vice chairman of IDFB, said that the implementation of the new policy of entering the territory of the feather feathers will have a positive role in promoting the future development of the Chinese down industry and a very far -reaching impact. Double cycle "and bigger and stronger, play a great role in promoting. With the promotion of the new policy of feathers, the industry will usher in the spring of rapid development.
