Strict control of formaldehyde release furniture export costs increase pressure!

The United States Senate recently passed the "Standard Wood Products Formaldehyde Standards Act", which will be officially implemented on July 1 this year. “This is three to four times higher than the original requirements.” The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Export Furniture Supervision Department stated that the standard is currently the most demanding limit requirement in the world. “After the implementation of the new US bill, it is estimated that 30%-40% of the export enterprises in the entire furniture industry are affected.” Ms. Tan, the general manager of Guangdong Amygao Furniture Co., Ltd., told the Nanfang Daily reporter that she had recently made her in order to deal with the matter. The group turned. Ms. Tan said that the new US bill refers to the "Standard Wood Products Formaldehyde Act" recently passed by the US Senate. The bill will be officially implemented on July 1 this year. According to reports, the new law once again reduced the amount of formaldehyde released from wood products sold and sold throughout the United States, where the formaldehyde emission from the raw material particleboard of wood products decreased from 0.3ppm to 0.09ppm, and the formaldehyde emission from hardwood plywood decreased from 0.2ppm. 0.05ppm. “This is three to four times higher than the original requirements.” The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Export Furniture Supervision Department stated that the standard is currently the most demanding limit requirement in the world. Guangdong's export furniture cost pressure has increased greatly. "In the United States, 90% of furniture comes from China, and Guangdong furniture ranks second in the US market, second only to Zhejiang." Miss Tan admits that the new US bill will be implemented. The company has a great influence. It is reported that Amyco's main export market is in the United States, and its sales in the United States reached 10 million US dollars last year. In order to meet the requirements of the new US bill, she must first find a raw material supplier in the country that meets the new bill, that is, a sheet that reaches the E0 level (formaldehyde emission <0.05 ppm). “There are very few suppliers of E0 grade plates in China. As far as I know, there are only 2-3 in Guangdong.” Secondly, after finding suppliers, the price of raw materials is also 15%-20% higher than before. For example, the 1.2 cm x 1.4 m 18 cm (thickness) splint is 110 yuan/block in the previous E1 level, and 130-140 yuan/block in the E0 level. At present, there is not much time to officially implement the new bill. Miss Tan said that she has been very busy recently. On the one hand, she is not sure whether the price, quantity and quality of raw materials provided by new suppliers are stable. In order to meet export standards, it is necessary to increase the frequency of testing raw materials and finished products. On the other hand, we must negotiate product price increases with customers. related business. “The price increase is affirmative. The question is how much is acceptable to both parties. The customer also knows the cost increase caused by the new bill.” Foshan Shunde District, another furniture exporter kitchen equipment company, also felt the pressure of the new US bill. The company's main wood kitchen utensils, the main market is also in the United States, the amount of products exported to the United States last year reached 120 containers. "This year's orders have to be done. Orders in July and August are already full, but profits are reduced by at least 4-5%." A general manager of a company told reporters that with the official implementation of the new US bill, the overall cost of raw materials is expected to increase by 5- 7%. At the same time, labor costs are also rising this year, at least 10%. "Previously, a worker was 2,000 yuan/month, and now 2200 yuan/month." In addition, the impact of the exchange rate also makes the company expect to reduce profits by 4%. . Industry insiders worry that with the introduction of increasingly strict furniture regulations in the United States, the amount of China's furniture exports to the United States will decrease, and the volume of Chinese furniture in the US market will shrink. "After some furniture companies that do not meet the requirements of the United States, they may withdraw from the US market." The reporter learned from the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that Guangdong Province is a large province of furniture export. There are about 2,800 furniture export enterprises in the province, and furniture export sales are close. 50% of the country's total export sales. "The United States regulations on the limit of formaldehyde in wood products are implemented in stages, showing an increasingly strict trend." Relevant persons from the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said. "The new bill requires that the board must reach the E0 level. The requirements for the raw materials are so high, and there are not many enterprises that can reach the standard at present. In the production process, the amount of free formaldehyde in the E0 grade wood board should be lowered to the low level, to the production equipment, production. Technology, testing methods and costs have also raised higher requirements, and companies that cannot be reached have difficulty entering the US market."
