The current international trade situation: challenges and opportunities coexist.

Currently, the international trade landscape is fraught with unpredictability, posing numerous challenges to the import sealing components business. The rise of trade protectionism has led various countries to implement a range of trade restrictions, such as increased tariffs and technical barriers. Taking the United States as an example, frequent tariff hikes on imported goods in recent years have not only raised the costs of importing sealing components but also intensified market price fluctuations, squeezing corporate profit margins. Meanwhile, the global pandemic has severely disrupted international trade supply chains, with issues like logistics delays, port congestion, and raw material shortages emerging one after another, creating significant challenges for the timely delivery of imported sealing components.
However, crises also contain opportunities. With the gradual recovery of the global economy, countries are continuously increasing investments in infrastructure construction, industrial production, and other fields, leading to sustained growth in the demand for seals. Particularly in emerging economies such as Southeast Asia and Africa, rapid economic development and accelerated industrial modernization have driven a strong upward trend in the demand for imported seals. Additionally, the application of digital technologies in international trade is becoming increasingly widespread. E-commerce platforms provide businesses with more convenient channels to expand into international markets, enabling them to showcase products, negotiate deals, and complete transactions online, thereby reducing trade costs and improving trade efficiency.

In the process of importing sealing components, product certification is a crucial step to ensure compliance with the regulations and quality standards of the target market.
