In many people's minds, imported products are always better, safer and more durable. Naturally, the understanding of imported furniture is no exception. Therefore, imported furniture has long been favored by consumers. In fact, the imported furniture market is not as simple as we believe. At present, some merchants adopt domestic processing, domestic foreign spare parts assembly, domestic production and then "import" to foreign countries, resulting in a mixed market of imported furniture.
Many people have become accustomed to the price of Gucci, Givenchy and other brands in China, which is 30% to 40% higher than that in Europe and America. Because China imposes 20%~30% postage tax on imported cosmetics, watches, jewelry, handbags, etc., including customs duties and import value increments. Tax and consumption tax. However, the furniture industry is different. In fact, China implements “zero tariffs†on imported furniture and only imposes value-added tax. Therefore, the cost of imported furniture is not higher than that of ordinary imported goods. The "high price" of imported furniture refers directly to rich profits.
If it is only high prices, I believe many local consumers still do not care. However, the so-called "imported" furniture, you must buy the real imported furniture? The market situation is not like this.
Two major problems in the imported furniture market
Question 1: The so-called import is actually an OEM
First of all, the imported furniture market has domestic processing. Some merchants will produce in China through the authorization of foreign brands, and then sell them on the OEM. In fact, the origin is still in China. Secondly, the imported furniture market has the situation that the domestic spare parts are assembled abroad. At present, there are many imported furniture on the market, although the imported parts are imported, but the origin of the spare parts is domestic. By transporting spare parts to foreign production sites for assembly and then shipping them to China for sale, such importers have the name of import and no import.
Question 2: "Haigui" furniture camouflage imported goods
Thirdly, the imported furniture market has domestic production first, then shipped abroad, and then “importedâ€. Compared with another way of transporting parts shipped abroad, it is a more time-saving and labor-saving way to transport domestically produced furniture to foreign countries. Then, it will be shipped back to China, so that the customs declaration form can also be obtained. The natural production area can also be written abroad, and the merchant can obtain high profits from it.
For consumers, the purchase of imported furniture is a huge expense, so it is more rational to consume, to ensure that the imported furniture purchased by them is genuine.
What are the requirements of the state for the inspection and supervision of imported furniture?
According to SN/T 2419-2010 "Industry Standards for Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China" and "Regulations for Inspection of Import and Export Furniture", China generally has two requirements for the inspection and supervision of imported furniture:
1 General quality requirements, including major dimensional and dimensional tolerances, shape and position tolerances, appearance quality, material requirements, woodworking requirements, finishing requirements, physical and chemical properties, etc.
2 It is a safety, environmental and environmental performance requirement, including toxic and hazardous substances, fire retardant properties, and mechanical safety.
There are four main requirements for toxic and hazardous substances:
1 to detect formaldehyde emission from furniture products containing wood-based panels and adhesives;
2 Detection of harmful heavy metal elements in furniture products or paints containing paint coatings;
3 Test the wood preservative pentachlorophenol and inorganic arsenic for products containing wood materials;
4 Detecting fabric hygiene and environmental performance items in soft furniture such as azo fuel, pentachlorophenol, etc.

Why do some imported furniture be fumigated?
Although the wood used in wooden furniture has undergone cutting, drying and other processes, it is not obvious for killing the drilly pests in the wood. These harmful organisms not only damage the quality of the furniture, but also easily invade the harmful organisms. China's Animal and Plant Quarantine Law stipulates that if plants, plant products and other quarantine objects are imported and quarantine is found to have plant dangerous diseases, insects or weeds, the port animal and plant quarantine office shall issue a "Quarantine Treatment Notice" to notify the owner or The agent acts as a detoxification, return or destruction. Those who pass the decontamination treatment are allowed to enter the country. The most effective method of decontamination treatment is fumigation. The importer can apply to the port professional detoxification agency to kill the harmful substances in the wooden material without damaging the furniture.
What should I pay attention to when buying imported furniture?
1. Is it an authorized network?
Consumers should first choose to purchase at the brand's authorized dealerships. Currently, globally renowned brands can generally find their authorized distribution outlets on their official websites. Consumers can log on to the brand website to prevent fraud.
2. Is the document certificate complete?
When consumers purchase imported furniture, they can ask the merchant to issue the certificate of origin of the furniture. The certificate of origin of the imported furniture is one of the necessary materials for the importer to inspect the imported furniture to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine department, and is also one of the important documents for identifying the origin of imported furniture. Is indispensable. The certificate of origin of imported furniture is like a citizen's ID card, which represents the country of production of the furniture and proves where the product came from. Check whether the documents are complete, including customs declarations, bills of lading, packing lists, invoices, authorizations provided by the manufacturer, and product specifications, etc., and check whether the cargo information on the documents is consistent with the commodity information on the certificate of origin.
3, pay attention to the purchase contract
Observe the quality and appearance of the furniture. For the furniture made of precious wood such as mahogany, it is recommended to invite professionals to identify and purchase together, or ask the experts to conduct the appraisal after purchase, but the actual inspection and identification results must be clearly paid in the contract before purchase.
