Import & Export Analysis

Guangzhou CCM Chemicals Co., Ltd. provides in-depth Import & Export Analysis of a particular product based on the Custom Data (shipment record). This service is the extension of Import & Export Statistics, the database of the import & export situation of chemicals & pharmaceuticals in the past years. In the past, the Import & Export Analysis was a part of Consultancy service and an important section of Market Reports. In recent years, more and more clients asked for this service as an effective assistance in the competitiveness study. And the it has become one of the kernel businesses in CCM.

Necessaries for the Import Analysis And/or Export Analysis

In the import & export business, every transaction has been recorded by China Customs, in form of shipment record, where every details like name of importer/exporter, quantity, value, date, destination/origin, etc. have been written down. The input of the data is referred to the HS code, a kind of classification for different substances. For some large item or the regular item with relative large quantity or or the item with long history of import & export, it has separate HS code. In this case, all the transactions of this item are input under this HS code.

While for some small items or the new items, they do not have separate HS codes. All the transactions of these items have to share the same HS code with others. Usually the staffs in the Customs Bureau classify them based on the chemical structure or the function or applications, etc. In this case, one HS code might covers several substances or even tens or hundreds of substances with similar structure or similar function or similar application. There are millions of goods in the import & export business and the majority of substances do not have separate HS codes. This means the names of most substances can not be indicated directly in the shipment record. To verify if there is a definite HS code for a particular product, you can go to the database of Import & Export Statistics which covers most important substances in chemical industry and pharmaceutical industry.

However, in most cases, the decision-makers or the strategical drafters are keen in obtaining the shipment records for a particular product that do not have the separate HS code. Sometime such a demand is crucial. It is under this circumstance that to pick them up by scientific method, either for the export data or for the import data, become crucial for these people. While CCM can do this and is expertizing at it.

Further more, it is quite important to understand the following matters from the Customs data:

- The manufacturer for each transaction
- The specification of the substances for each transaction
- The application of the substances for each transaction

Obviously there is not indication of these messages in the original shipment record, even if for the product that has separate HS code. Please refer to sample 1, sample 2, sample 3, sample 6, sample 7, sample 8. Nor can be be available from the pickup data (please refer to sample 9, sample 10). Especially, the shipment record is made under names of importer/exporter instead of the manufacturer! From competitiveness point of view, people are more interested in the manufacturers than the exporters/importers. This is essential for the export analysis in particular to the thorough understanding of the market situation in China. A scientific analysis to analyze the shipment record and further map each transaction with each producer or further match specifications and applications to that each transactions has become a dream for many market researchers or decision-makers. But the effecient & effective processing for this purpose is really a headache for them. While CCM can easily make such dream comes true, and provide in-depth investigation.

CCM's Procedure for the Import & Export Analysis

For both import analysis and export analysis, CCM's first approach to identify the HS code and pick up the concerning data, by using CCM's reliable methodologies. For the product that has definite HS code, this step is ignored.

Then CCM further the map and focuses on the analysis from different angles, for export situation and import situation.

- For export analysis: manufacturer mapping --> specification mapping --> application mapping
- For import analysis: specification mapping --> application mapping --> manufacturer mapping

At last, CCM add some columns to the original shipment record indicating manufacturer, and/or specification and/or application. For the product without HS code, an addition column is needed to mark the transaction that has been picked up. Please refer to sample 4, sample 5, sample 11, sample 12.

CCM' notification

- There is no official statistics indicating the above items (manufacturers, specifications, applications, etc.) in China. CCM's findings are based on its sound experience, wealth knowledge and scientific methodologies. CCM promises to make the analysis to the best of its knowledge. However CCM's findings are not governmental data although they are made on base of the governmental data.
- In some cases, it it difficult to make the analysis for every items that are mentioned. This depends on the different product that is to be studied. E.g. For some product CCM can only make the analysis into manufacturers but it is impossible to make the analysis for the specification or application.
- In some cases, it is in fact not necessaries to conduct the research that includes all the above items (manufacturers, specifications, applications, etc.). E.g. For some clients, the pickup of the right transactions is enough; while for some clients, it is just necessary to make the analysis into the export data and map the Chinese manufacturers and the situation of major specifications, etc. So clients can choose the depth/items of the research and the analysis by referring to the above two tables, one for the cost of analysis on product with definite HS code and another for the cost of analysis on product without HS code.
