What are the "unspoken rules" that glasses export enterprises need to face?

In recent years, with the increasing popularity of the sunglasses export market,

The laws and regulations on sunglasses in Western developed countries such as Europe and the United States are also constantly being updated

For the relevant glasses export enterprises to learn, study and master these laws and regulations and other clear rules,

It is undoubtedly very necessary.

At the same time, they should be familiar with and understand some so-called customary practices and "unspoken rules" that have no explicit provisions but are customary and objectively exist.

It's also very important.

According to relevant sources, at present,

In the field of eyewear exports, there are some quite important "unspoken rules":

Unspoken rule 1:

All kinds of certifications emerge in an endless stream,

But not all of them will be checked.

Eyewear products exported to the United States, the European Union and Russia have their own different standards and certifications.

However, the customs may not check every one, and sometimes it may be the customer's own needs.

Specifically, sunglasses exported to the EU need to meet the EN ISO 12312 standard,

Sunglasses exported to the U.S. need to comply with FDA as well as ANSI Z80.3/Z80.5

Sunglasses exported to Australia need to comply with AS/NZS1067: 2003 and other standards.

Unspoken rule 2:

The customs code determines the declaration elements and the tax refund rate.

The customs codes for VR glasses, 3D glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, etc. are different.

Naturally, the elements of the declaration are different.

If you want to know the specific refund rate, you have to provide the corresponding customs code.

HSCODE for VR glasses and 3D glasses:

90049090.00。

The tax rebate rate is 15%, there are no regulatory conditions, and the elements of export declaration: product name, use, type (discoloration, etc.), brand, model, whether to cover most of the face, etc.

Unspoken rule three:

Export tax rebates are an additional benefit for eyewear exporters.

Glasses export tax rebate has actually become an "additional income" for enterprises.

It not only improves the profit level of the industry, but also helps to gradually improve the scientific research level and product quality of the industry.

Lay the foundation for the improvement of international competitiveness and provide guarantee for the improvement of market share.

So that the development of the industry into a virtuous circle.

"Familiarity with similar "unspoken rules" not only helps relevant glasses export enterprises to reduce unnecessary trouble,

Avoid detours and can effectively reduce export costs and losses.

So, how do you confront the many unspoken rules? First of all, it should be treated positively.

Rather than turning a blind eye to it.

Compared with the explicit rules such as laws and regulations, although some conventional unspoken rules do not have legitimacy and legal significance,

But the same is playing a role, even a very important role, and it must be confronted and taken seriously.

Secondly, you need to make efforts to familiarize yourself with and understand the "unspoken rules".

You can designate a special person to understand the market conditions and unspoken rules of the exporting country and local area through certain channels.

Be "prepared for a rainy day" and be prepared.

It is also possible to entrust relevant departments and agencies to collect information in this regard,

On this basis, we will study and formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Third, grasp the reasonable "degree".

While facing the "unspoken rules", we also need to grasp the proportions.

There should be a corresponding bottom line for "unspoken rules" that involve major legal principles and may lead to serious violations.

It must not be touched, let alone "in the same stream", otherwise, once the incident occurs,

It can be devastating for the business.
