Cross-border winter! How can small and medium-sized sellers save themselves under the new mask export regulations?

Today, I believe everyone has been flooded with the news on WeChat Moments about the “ latest regulations on the export of medical supplies such as masks and protective clothing on April 1st ”!

On the evening of the 31st, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Drug Administration jointly issued an announcement on the orderly export of medical supplies:

The announcement pointed out that from April 1, companies exporting new coronavirus testing reagents, medical masks, medical protective clothing, ventilators, and infrared thermometers must provide relevant written or electronic declarations when declaring to customs.

Some logistics companies responded quickly and quickly summarized the requirements for export customs declaration documents for masks:

It can be seen that the country is currently strictly controlling the export of relevant epidemic prevention materials. Starting from April 1, the customs will also strictly check the export of epidemic prevention materials. Once quality problems occur in the export of medical supplies, they will be investigated seriously, and once discovered, they will be investigated and punished according to law, and there will be no leniency!

Therefore, companies exporting epidemic prevention and medical supplies must pay attention to ensure product quality and safety and compliance with relevant standards.

Otherwise, you may face serious business and legal risks!

This also means that the current popular "epidemic prevention products" are facing a new round of reshuffle, and a large number of small sellers will be ruthlessly kicked out!

Indeed, under the current epidemic situation, the exported medical supplies are not only related to the lives of medical staff and ordinary people, but also related to the reputation of all "Made in China" products. If we continue to allow substandard masks to proliferate abroad, then how can the reputation of "Made in China" continue? After the epidemic, the foreign trade industry may be even more difficult...

According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 6:05 Beijing time on April 1, there were 85,507 confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, with 42,032 deaths. The United States is currently the country with the most confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 186,265 cases and 3,810 deaths; Italy is the country with the most deaths, with 12,428 cases and 105,792 confirmed cases.

The number of confirmed cases in the United States has reached 180,000 , more than twice the number of confirmed cases in China! Some American experts even said that they should be prepared for 100,000 Americans to die from the new coronavirus.

How long will the overseas outbreak last? No one can answer.

Previously, an analysis released by the University of Washington School of Medicine predicted that the peak of the epidemic in the United States will arrive in April; it will last until June, and it is not ruled out that it will strike again in the fall and winter of this year.

If the overseas epidemic continues for a long time, many foreign trade companies may not be able to hold on!

After all, the European and American sites are the main sites for domestic sellers. At present, the priority of Amazon US and European FBA warehouse goods still applies, and Amazon is gradually increasing the number of open goods. This means that for many sellers of other non-essential categories, it is still unknown when FBA will be able to replenish stocks. In addition, even if the goods can be shipped, if the country where the epidemic occurs closes the roads, how can the logistics be reached?

It is unknown how long the epidemic will last, and when the cross-border winter will end before spring comes. In this case, how can sellers save themselves?
