Exports of wooden furniture, furniture, paint industry downturn led to dramatically increased the pressure

Light Industry Information Center, in January 2008 to 11 months, China's furniture industry output value of 263.204 billion yuan, growing 21.07% over the same period the previous year; furniture exports 24.702 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 22.04%. The data also sends a disturbing message, the Chinese furniture industry in the past year, the monthly growth rate was down trend.
Among them, wooden furniture exports dropped 10.74% or so probably. The face of the global financial crisis, the entire furniture industry still maintained a growth rate of more than 20%, say that this is a miracle.

Requests from January 1, 2009 onwards, sold in the state's use of hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard, etc. formaldehyde emission limit requirements by category, a phased reduction.

Foshan, Inspection and Quarantine Bureau in charge believe that the United States is the largest market for Chinese furniture exports are also an important export commodities in Foshan.

Although only the United States a state of implementation of the new regulations, but given a low passing rate of the previous sampling, enterprises should pay close attention. At the same time, we should further strengthen the formaldehyde in wood products such as furniture, quality and safety inspection and supervision of the project.

Experts remind that last year China's toy exports to the U.S. exceeded the incident to the development of lead paint in the Chinese toy industry caused great harm to hope that the majority of furniture companies and paint suppliers to the United States to be sufficient attention to new regulations to avoid repeating the toy industry mistakes. Lacquer furniture industry and furniture industry, the fate of solidarity.
