On June 12 this year, the newly revised Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES Convention) is about to enter into force. According to the national standard GB18107-2000 "Redwood", the number of redwood species listed in the CITES Convention has risen to seven, and the international trade management of redwood logs will become more stringent. According to industry insiders, the implementation of the Convention will have an impact on the import of mahogany raw materials. The import management of mahogany will become more and more strict, and the prices of domestic mahogany products, especially mahogany furniture, will rise.
7 species of redwood species are subject to strict trade control
In March of this year, the 16th Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora published a revised list of new amendments. According to the list, Dalbergia chinensis, D. chinensis, Dwarf Dalbergia, Belize Dalbergia and L. serrata are listed in Appendix II as Appendix III.
According to the staff of the National Endangered Species Import and Export Management Office, the increase in redwood species in this Convention, proposed by the important countries of origin, Thailand, Cambodia and some Central American countries, indicates that the export control of the redwood species in the country of origin will become increasingly stringent. According to the requirements of the Convention, all seven of these "redwood national standard" must have import and export licenses or re-export certificates before they can conduct international trade.
Jiang Xiaomei, a researcher at the Institute of Wood Industry of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, told reporters that among the seven types of redwoods in the CITES Convention appendix, except for the Brazilian black rosewood, Central American Dalbergia, and Belize Dalbergia products, it is rare in the domestic market. Red sandalwood, Sian rosewood, Lushi black rosewood and dimpled Dalbergia are common raw materials for mahogany products. The increase in the import price of raw materials will definitely affect the sales of the corresponding furniture products.
Log prices push up the price of mahogany furniture
According to the reporter's investigation of many redwood enterprises in Shenzhen, although the international convention was officially announced in March, since the beginning of this year, the import price of mahogany raw materials, especially Sian rosewood, has been rising.
Yang Bo, chairman of Yuan Henry Hardwood Furniture Co., Ltd., told reporters that the value of sandalwood rosewood, commonly known as lobular rosewood, has increased nearly 20 times in value over the past 13 years, while Dalbergia chinensis, Dalbergia sinensis and Dalbergia sinensis are all red rosewood. The value of the class has also been rising in recent years, and the price of logs of these redwood varieties has become more pronounced after the publication of the national convention.
According to Wu Xinjian, president of Jinfei Redwood, the price of Sian rosewood has increased by 30% compared with the end of last year. The increase of Dalbergia and Dalbergia is also 15%-30%.
Due to the difficulty of importing materials, the import price of mahogany logs has promoted the price increase of mahogany furniture products. The reporter found that a number of rosewood producers in Shenzhen raised their prices at the beginning of this year. Xuanming's products have increased by about 15% at the beginning of this year. Yuan Henry products have increased prices by 15%-20% at the beginning of the year, and Jinfei also said that products will increase prices by 20%-30% this year.
However, these manufacturers also said that this price increase is not "too significant" compared to previous years. "Now the experience of the operation of mahogany furniture manufacturers is relatively mature, and the price of materials is also constantly changing. Enterprises have already had expectations and preparations for this. Many companies have begun to reserve raw materials very early. Most merchants choose to slowly raise prices, and furniture prices in the short term. There will be no huge fluctuations.†Zhu Dengfeng, general manager of Mingjia Rosewood Club, told reporters.
However, although short-term prices do not fluctuate too much, in the long run, the increased cost of mahogany manufacturers due to timber trade is obvious. Yang Bo told reporters: "Taking Hainan huanghuali as an example, I went to the port 10 years ago to buy it. It is very difficult to buy one now. Now other mahogany wood will soon encounter similar situations, and enterprises will face no rice. Dilemma."
Wu Xinjian believes that although “some current businesses have bought raw materials at a lower priceâ€, the cost of the mahogany market is gradually increasing, and the resources of mahogany raw materials are becoming scarcer, and the price increase of mahogany products is inevitable. According to his analysis, "there is no large-scale price increase in the market for mahogany products, but it is estimated that if the price does not rise in September and October this year, a group of businesses will be unable to operate due to cost, or even close down."
Redwood's value-for-money sales also rose
Although the industry has clearly pointed out the rising trend of mahogany furniture, after the trough of the second half of 2012, the sales of mahogany furniture is still at a high level. The reporter learned from many stores in Shenzhen that the sales of mahogany furniture have been increasing after the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. As of the "May Day", compared with the same period of last year, the sales volume has increased by about 30%, and the rosewood furniture purchased by the kit has the most increase. obvious.
A furniture salesperson from Guoanju told reporters that from the perspective of product sales, mid-range products such as Burmese rosewood, African rosewood, and South American rosewood were sold faster and demand was larger. "At present, the price of a set of solid wood furniture is more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of a six-piece set of medium-grade mahogany furniture is more than 20,000 yuan. If you spend more money, you can buy more quality mahogany furniture. It can also preserve value."
The reporter found that mahogany furniture, as a kind of "Chinese culture", has both practicality and cultural connotation, and its powerful value-preserving function has become a great weapon to attract consumers. Take Burmese rosewood as an example. A set of five-piece seats in Ming style is about 30,000 yuan in 2012. This year, it has increased slightly by 10% to 33,000 yuan.
"A set of five or sixty thousand leather sofas, no matter how to maintain, used for five or six years, how much wear and tear, it will be devalued. But the redwood is not the same. A set of five or six thousand mahogany furniture, used for five or six years Basically, it will not cause much wear and tear. Under normal circumstances, the recycling price will not be very different." Mr. Cai, who is buying mahogany furniture, told reporters.
"Under normal circumstances, mahogany furniture has an annual increase of 5% -10%, and now the raw materials of mahogany are more scarce, to a certain extent, it makes it more valuable." The sales manager at the scene told reporters.
However, Fu Jianquan, director of the Development Planning and Fund Management Department of the State Forestry Administration, reminded that 33 kinds of redwoods are not all valuable, and businesses should not blindly purchase. Moreover, the value of many non-redwood species is higher than that of mahogany. When consumers buy related products, they should not be smashed by the redwoods.

Luohu Customs since April
231 kg of rosewood was seized
With the price of rosewood in the rosewood market rising, the market outlook is bullish. Since the red sandalwood is classified as a protected species of endangered animals and plants, the customs restricts entry and exit. Many illegal elements are handcuffed at the port and illegally carry the rosewood into the country. Since April, Luohu Customs has seized 24 cases of smuggled rosewood, involving a total of 231 kilograms of rosewood, a year-on-year increase of more than four times.
On the morning of May 6, a Hong Kong inbound passenger carried two large cloth bags and walked heavily to the customs passage. His dodging gesture caught the attention of the customs officers and was listed as the key inspection object. After inspection, the customsman found a wooden block weighing about 23 kilograms wrapped in black plastic cloth in the cloth bag. After the professional department identified it, the wooden block was rosewood. On April 21, the customs also seized 4 Hong Kong passengers and did not report more than 10 rosewoods to the customs, totaling 81.2 kilograms.
In addition to carrying rosewood logs, the red sandalwood beads are the most "favorite" red sandalwood products. On May 8, Hong Kong traveler Wang mixed 5 kilograms of sandalwood beads and carry-on clothing in a large bag in an attempt to deceive the customs. The inspection was seized. According to statistics from Luohu Customs, almost all of the more than 10 cases involving red sandalwood products were made of red sandalwood beads.
Since the beginning of this year, the price of red sandalwood in the rosewood market has been rising continuously. The quality of the red sandalwood is currently around 1.2 million yuan per ton, which is still lower than other redwood prices. It has become a price that the experts in the industry think is “squatting†and has a strong compensatory trend. At the end of last year, the Traditional Furniture Professional Committee of the China Furniture Association also predicted that the price of red sandalwood will rise steadily in the next three to five years. In addition, Hong Kong is known as the “aromatic portâ€. The quality of the sandalwood produced by it is excellent, and the Hong Kong border is mostly mountainous, providing terrain for the thieves.
Customs reminds: The red sandalwood belongs to the species in Appendix 2 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. According to the relevant laws and regulations: If you carry or consign wild animals and plants and their products into and out of the country, you must apply for an import and export permit. The certificate is checked and released. For the smuggling of endangered animals and plants and their products, the Customs will be punished in accordance with the relevant provisions of the law.
