The importance of packaging (2)

In order to ensure the safety of international transport, the International Maritime Organization has formulated the “International Maritime Dangerous Goods Regulations” in accordance with the relevant UN regulations, and requested it to be enforced internationally since January 1, 1991. All countries have not exported according to the international regulations for the export of dangerous goods. Standard inspection is not allowed to export the shipment, and the importing country will refuse to accept it. In response, the former State Administration of Commodity Inspection (now the AQSIQ) and the relevant national ministries and commissions jointly decided that China began to implement the inspection and appraisal of seaborne dangerous packaging in accordance with international standards on July 1, 1985, and began to transport air cargo in 1995. The inspection and appraisal of dangerous packages was carried out, and the inspection and appraisal of dangerous packages for railway transportation was carried out since 2000. Through the unremitting hard work and strict control of the national inspection and quarantine system, overcoming various difficulties and conquering a difficult road, and under the active cooperation and support of various relevant departments and manufacturers, China’s various export packaging has been fully upgraded to international standards. Ensure the smooth export of dangerous goods. In the past 10 years, China's maritime dangerous goods for export have not experienced any major transport safety accidents caused by packaging quality problems, effectively ensuring the sustained and healthy development of export trade.
Yunnan Province is the country's phosphorus chemical production base. The annual export of yellow phosphorus and phosphoric acid accounts for more than 60% of the national export volume. Take 2001 as an example, the province exported more than 97,000 tons of yellow phosphorus, accounting for 65% of the country; more than 100,000 tons of phosphoric acid exported, accounting for 60% of the country. However, to this day, yellow phosphorus and phosphoric acid produced in the province are still mainly used for shipments (including exports) of 150 liters of galvanized closed steel drums and 20 liters of closed plastic cans, while foreign and some provinces are already producing and using medium bulk products. The container is shipped. This aspect has increased the safety during transportation, storage and handling; on the other hand, new types of packaging containers can be reused, which overcomes the defects of the original one-time use of steel drums and plastic cans, reduces packaging waste and reduces Pollution of the environment. It can be seen that the development of phosphorus chemical industry in Yunnan can not but pay attention to packaging. However, so far no enterprise or unit in the province has produced medium-sized bulk containers. This can not but arouse our concern and the attention of the relevant departments and enterprises in Yunnan Province.

Many countries have different provisions for the packaging of imported goods. Any import that does not meet the requirements is not allowed to import or import into the market. For example, the United States, New Zealand, Canada, and other countries prohibit the use of rice straw as packaging materials to prevent the introduction of certain plant diseases and insect pests, causing damage to the country’s ecological environment; Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other countries stipulate that imported goods must use aggregated transportation packages; otherwise, Imports are unloaded; the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and the EU15 have successively issued laws and regulations since 1998, and the wooden packaging from China must be accompanied by a certificate issued by China's entry-exit inspection and quarantine authority. Prove that the wooden packaging has been heat-treated, fumigated or preservative-treated, or that the exporter has issued a certificate for wood-free packaging before entering the country. If there is a violation of the provisions of the goods will be prohibited from entering the entire batch, or under the conditions of approval, remove the wood packaging and destroy.
In addition to the mandatory restrictions on packaging in foreign countries, due to the differences in the level of economic development in various countries, there are different requirements for the quality of packaging, and the quality of packaging will directly lead to the gains and losses of trade. For instance, Matsutake, which is exported from Yunnan each year, exported to Japan more than 1200 tons in 2001. Since the packaging quality of our country was too bad, at the request of foreign companies, the cartons used to ship matsutake had to be Foreign purchases, many domestic carton factories can only look forward to the money flowing into the pockets of foreign packaging manufacturers. Through the continuous efforts and improvement of packaging enterprises in the province, cartons produced in Yunnan have completely replaced foreign cartons. Many carton factories in the province have obtained many benefits each year from the production of matsutake boxes. For the "fat water does not flow outside the field."
In order to ensure that our products can smoothly enter the markets of all countries, all companies should understand the requirements of the countries for import packaging, and design and material selection of packaging in accordance with requirements in order to enable the products to successfully enter the international market.
Second, sales packaging (also known as inner packaging)
(I) Ensure that commodities are not deteriorated, free from contamination, kept fresh, or prevented from dying within the warranty period
Many goods need to be packaged to protect the goods from being damaged during the circulation process, and it is also necessary for the inner package to preserve freshness, preserve quality, prevent pollution and prevent death, especially foods, flowers, vegetables, aquatic products, cosmetics, etc. It plays a role in ensuring that commodities will not deteriorate, be protected from pollution, be kept fresh, or prevent death within a certain period of time. For example, Yunnan has exported France's green beans for many years. Since the glass bottles produced in China do not meet the requirements of foreign countries in terms of strength, tightness, and appearance, it is still necessary to use foreign-provided glass bottles for packaging, and foreign companies accept it. The tin cans used in canned fruit and canned food in the province's exports, except for the domestic ones, can basically meet the requirements of foreign countries and basically have to be imported. Originally, Yunnan's unique natural environment allowed many of our products to be sold abroad to meet the needs of the international market. However, the reality is that many products cannot be exported. There are various reasons for this, but the packaging is backward and cannot be satisfied. The requirement of the international market is a problem that cannot be ignored. It must arouse our great attention. (To be continued)
