In 2008, Jinjiang inspected 475 million pairs of export footwear products and the value of goods was 1 billion 731 million US dollars, down by 0.48%% and 10.75%% respectively over the previous year, and exported to the United States, Switzerland and the European Union 180 million pairs and 744 million US dollars, down 8.17%% and grow 1.64%%.

Statistics show that the total export volume of footwear in Jinjiang has declined slightly, and the volume of exports to Europe and America has declined a lot, but the total amount has remained relatively large.

Guangdong shoe enterprises are affected by RMB appreciation, cost increase and the financial crisis. Some shoe factories shut down and shut down, the order outflow and higher unit price. Jinjiang shoe enterprises actively adjusted the industrial structure, improved production conditions, and accepted many high priced orders. This is the main reason for the decline in export volume and the increase in export volume by more than 10%.

In view of the higher requirements of high priced orders on product styles, performance, workmanship and testing, the inspection and quarantine departments take the initiative to take measures to help them: timely convening Jinjiang shoes enterprises to hold technical exchange and standard publicity meeting, helping enterprises to solve the practical difficulties encountered in product design, technology research and development, and standard setting, giving full play to the technological superiority of the national footwear inspection center located in this department, conscientiously organizing periodic inspection of export footwear products, and providing all-round services for enterprises.
