Aromatic Wine in Ningbo - Alcoholic Products from CEE Are Highly Popular in Ningbo

 

 

In recent years, alcoholic products from Central and Eastern Europe have gained popularity in the Ningbo market. The variety and volume of imported goods have continuously increased, further diversifying the supply in the alcohol consumption market and offering consumers more economical and quality options, such as fruit wine from Serbia and absinthe from the Czech Republic, which have become standout selections. According to statistics, the value of alcoholic products imported from CEE countries through Ningbo Port reached 16.172 million yuan in the first half of this year.

As the scale of my country's consumer market continues to grow, the demand for flavors of alcoholic products has become more diversified, and various alcoholic products produced in Central and Eastern Europe(CEE) have emerged in the domestic market. Recently, in the commodity display and sales area of Ningbo Huaou International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., dozens of rows of wooden display cabinets were neatly arranged with beautifully packaged wines, brandies and other commodities. The sales staff are explaining the taste characteristics and prices of these alcoholic products to customers.

"As a company specializing in the import of alcoholic products from CEE, we continuously expand the domestic market by leveraging high-quality sources and exceptional trade services. In particular, blueberry wine from Serbia and wine from Hungary have won the favor of many consumers because of their unique flavor and reasonable price." Fang Yu, head of Ningbo Huaou International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., introduced that "from taste screening to appearance packaging, we strictly control every aspect to ensure the quality of goods. Last year, we added several new source countries such as Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. The customs promptly provided us with technical assistance on commodity classification, declaration of origin, and other issues, and guided us in standardizing declarations and reducing customs clearance obstacles."

In order to ensure the efficient customs clearance of imported alcoholic products, Ningbo Customs relies on the "Proximity & Integrity Direct Channel • Enterprise Needs, Customs Response" mechanism to assist enterprises. By optimizing inspection and evaluation service measures, it has set up special inspection and evaluation posts for imported alcoholic products to achieve same-day inspection and release. Moreover, for products that are easy to make mistakes in classification, such as plum brandy from Serbia and absinthe from the Czech Republic, the customs actively carry out classification technical guidance and policy consulting services to help companies accurately declare the products. In addition, the customs has also established a big data analysis model based on alcoholic products, carried out risk classification and disposal combined with port risk records and relevant warning notices, and made full use of tariff collection and management facilitation measures such as "difference guarantee" and others to reduce corporate capital and time costs.

"With the careful assistance and guidance of the customs, our customs clearance efficiency has been continuously improved, and the competitiveness of our products has gradually increased. At present, the Yangtze River Delta region including Ningbo has become the main consumer market for our company's imported goods." Fang Yu said.
