Current international trade situation: challenges and opportunities

3.1 Challenges
The current international trade situation is complex and volatile, posing many challenges for importing Japanese belts. The rise of trade protectionism has led countries to implement measures such as imposing additional tariffs and setting up trade barriers. For example, some countries may impose high tariffs on imported belts, increasing import costs; or implement strict product standards and certification requirements, raising market entry barriers. Meanwhile, frequent exchange rate fluctuations increase settlement risks. If the RMB appreciates, import businesses settled in USD will face rising costs; conversely, if the RMB depreciates, exporters may suffer exchange losses during settlement. Additionally, the ongoing impact of the global pandemic has increased supply chain disruption risks, significantly raised logistics costs, and extended transportation times, affecting timely delivery.
3.2 Opportunities
However, crises also contain opportunities. As the global economy gradually recovers, consumer demand for fashion accessories continues to grow, and Japanese belts, with their unique design and quality, have broad market prospects. The rise of emerging markets, such as Southeast Asia and Africa, where purchasing power is gradually increasing, opens new market spaces for imported Japanese belts. At the same time, the rapid development of digital trade provides businesses with more convenient trade platforms and marketing channels. Through e-commerce platforms, businesses can directly reach global consumers, reducing marketing costs and increasing brand awareness.

Product certification services

In the business of importing Japanese belts, product certification is essential. Different markets have different certification requirements for belt products. For example, the EU market may require compliance with REACH regulations, imposing strict limits on chemical substances in belts; the US market may require CPSIA certification to ensure the product meets childrens product safety standards.
Although ZhongShen International Trade does not directly provide certification services, with its extensive experience, it can accurately inform clients of the required certifications and assist them in preparing relevant materials. During the certification process, it provides professional guidance, such as helping clients choose suitable certification bodies and prepare certification samples, ensuring smooth certification and helping clients products enter target markets successfully.
