Toy exports need to go through multiple stages and meet the relevant standards and regulatory requirements of the target market. The following is a detailed introduction:

Preparation stage

Market research and customer demand analysis: Different countries and regions have different requirements for toys. For example, the United States has extremely strict toy safety standards and prohibits toys containing harmful chemicals from entering the country; The European market values non-toxic standards for toys. By conducting research, understanding the preferences, regulatory requirements, and consumer safety concerns of the target market can help mitigate export risks.

Product design and sample production: Design products according to customer needs, not only focusing on appearance, but also considering the safety of materials and structures. For example, for luminous toys, it is necessary to choose safe LED light beads and design waterproof and dustproof shells. After the design is completed, make samples to ensure compliance with customer requirements.

Contract signing and payment terms confirmation: After confirming that the sample is correct, sign the contract, specifying the price, delivery time, quality standards, payment method, and other contents. Quality inspection standards and breach of contract liability clauses should be included in the contract, and payment methods usually include a 30% advance payment and full payment before shipment.

Production and Quality Control Stage

Material procurement and acceptance: The safety of toys largely depends on the raw materials, and the environmental certification and testing reports of the raw materials need to be checked during procurement. After procurement, sampling testing should be conducted to ensure that there are no heavy metals, harmful substances, etc.

Production process supervision: During the production process, attention should be paid to key processes such as temperature and pressure control in the injection molding stage, and small parts should be avoided from loosening and falling off during the assembly stage. Problems in production should be discovered and solved in a timely manner to avoid generating a large amount of waste.

Quality inspection and testing: Toy exports must undergo strict quality testing, including mechanical performance testing, chemical testing, and safety performance testing. Usually, third-party testing agencies can be commissioned to conduct inspections to ensure that toys meet the standards of the importing country.

Export procedure processing stage

Declaration preparation and document organization: Prepare customs declaration forms, invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and other documents to ensure accurate and error free information. If the exported toys are legally inspected goods, an inspection certificate issued by the inspection and quarantine agency is also required.

Customs declaration and inspection and quarantine: According to customs regulations, accurately fill in the customs declaration form, select the correct customs code, and clearly describe the goods. At the same time, according to the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Import and Export Toy Inspection, when applying for inspection of exported toys, it is necessary to truthfully fill out the outbound goods inspection form and provide relevant materials such as a copy of the Export Toy Registration Certificate.

Insurance and Risk Management: Purchase appropriate transportation insurance for goods, such as ocean freight insurance, air freight insurance, etc., to cover risks such as damage and loss of goods and reduce potential losses during the export process.

Logistics transportation and after-sales service stage

Logistics plan formulation and implementation: Based on factors such as the volume, weight, and delivery time of the goods, choose the appropriate logistics method, such as sea freight, air freight, or land freight. Sea freight is suitable for large quantities and volumes of toys, with lower costs but longer transportation times; Air freight has fast speed, but high cost, suitable for urgent orders.

Cargo monitoring and communication: After the goods are shipped, continuously track the logistics status, maintain close contact with the freight forwarder, and promptly handle any problems that arise during transportation, such as goods being stranded at transit ports. At the same time, provide timely feedback to customers on the transportation status.

After sales service and customer feedback: Establish an after-sales service team to handle customer quality complaints and usage suggestions. Timely investigation and resolution of customer feedback issues can improve customer satisfaction and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation.
