As temperatures continue to rise, the accelerated growth of various types of grass has led to an increasing demand for lawn mowers in overseas markets. As a key export base for domestic lawn mowers, Yuyao City in Zhejiang Province is continuously delivering high-quality garden machinery and equipment to global markets. Currently, Yuyao has developed a lawn mower industry cluster led by companies such as Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co.,Ltd. and Ningbo Cuike Machinery Co., Ltd., with its products securing a foothold in the global market.
"Our newly developed lithium battery-powered lawn mower has received widespread acclaim in the European market. This lawn mower boasts a novel appearance and an ergonomic design. Its noise level is 10+ decibels lower than that of gasoline-powered lawn mowers, significantly enhancing the consumer experience while reducing carbon emissions, making it more environmentally friendly," introduced Cheng Yu from Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery Co.,Ltd. "Thanks to the deepening of economic and trade cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC), our market share in the CEEC has seen a substantial increase. In the first four months of this year, our export of lawn mowers to the CEE saw an increase of nearly 80%."
Products containing lithium batteries are subject to stringent dangerous goods packaging management requirements. Manufacturers have an urgent demand for policy guidance and customs clearance support regarding the export of such products. To this end, Yuyao Customs under Ningbo Customs has thoroughly optimized the dangerous goods packaging management process for agricultural and forestry machinery based on the characteristics of the company's lithium battery lawn mowers. It has consistently streamlined the inspection efficiency of lithium battery products, effectively addressing the export challenges faced by the company.
Ride-on lawn mowers, as an innovative product, enjoy strong market demand in CEEC. Ningbo Cuike Machinery Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production of garden equipment. In the first four months of this year, the company's export volume to CEEC surged by over 50%. "Compared to traditional push lawn mowers, ride-on lawn mowers significantly enhance user comfort and are gradually becoming a mainstream choice in overseas markets," said Chen Zhimin, general manager of the company.
To ensure compliant exports and facilitate customs clearance for Yuyao enterprises, Yuyao Customs keeps a close watch on the dynamic changes in foreign technical trade measures, promptly delivers risk warning information to enterprises, and ensures that various indicators, including product safety standards, energy consumption, and environmental protection, meet foreign market access requirements. Meanwhile, leveraging the "territory-to-port" coordination mechanism, an "emergency channel" has been established for customs declaration forms with imminent shipping schedules, fully ensuring smooth logistics for export enterprises.
According to statistics, in the first four months of this year, Yuyao City exported lawn mowers worth 220 million yuan to Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC), marking a year-on-year increase of 68.9%. (Sun Yong, Zhao Wenyan)
