The import of raw materials is limited, and the rosewood furniture market is booming.

As high-end mahogany raw materials will become more scarce, under the pressure of increased costs, some mahogany furniture manufacturers in Huizhou began to plan for price increases.

Speaking of high-end furniture, most people can easily think of mahogany furniture, whether it is rosewood rosewood or rosewood wings, mahogany furniture has always been the darling of the market because of its excellent wood, natural temperament and beautiful appearance.

Recently, a number of redwood species have been included in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (also known as the CITES Convention), requiring a permit to conduct international trade, and with the new regulations coming into force on the 12th of this month, The reporter visited and found that as high-end mahogany raw materials will become more scarce, under the pressure of rising costs, some mahogany furniture manufacturers in Huizhou have begun to plan for price increases, and the high-end mahogany furniture market may usher in a wave of price increases.

New regulations for multiple redwood species are listed on the endangered list

Redwood, generally refers to the genus Pteroma, Dalbergia, Diospyros, genus and genus, five genera and eight types (red sandalwood, rosewood, fragrant wood, black rosewood, red rosewood, ebony, stripes Ebony and chicken wing wood) heartwood of tree species.

It is understood that the addendum to the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora has been in force since June 12. The import of various redwoods in various countries has been restricted and listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. The species are classified into three appendices. The species in Appendix I are endangered animals and plants, which clearly ban their international transactions; the species in Appendix II are currently without extinction, but if their population continues to decline, It will be upgraded to Appendix 1.

The Dite Dalbergia, Central American Dalbergia, Dwarf Dalbergia, Belize Dalbergia and L. black Dalbergia, commonly known as Siamese rosewood or Laos red rosewood, Central American red rosewood, South American red Rosewood, Central American black rosewood and large-leaf rosewood, and Central American Dalbergia, Belize Dalbergia, and ebony, striped ebony, persimmon wood, need import and export certificate.

According to relevant industry insiders, the traditional sources of Chinese redwoods are Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. At present, the four countries of Dalbergia have been banned from harvesting and exporting wild-colored Dalbergia. Therefore, after the implementation of the Convention The supply of mahogany will definitely decrease, and there may be a situation in which “things are rare and expensive” in the future.

At the same time, all the mahogany can be used to make furniture or crafts. Only a small piece of heartwood in the middle of the wood is called "ge". The "grid" must be 20 to 30 centimeters in length to make furniture, and such mahogany has at least a hundred years. History, the time-consuming and scarce quantity is one of the reasons why the price of mahogany furniture is high.

In addition, the recent news that “Vietnam rosewood export tax increase of 200%” has also aggravated the price increase of the rosewood market. Taking the Dalbergia chinensis as an example, it has increased from the original customs approval tax price of 3,900 US dollars to 15,000 US dollars.

High-end products in the market are brewing prices, and the supply is stable in the middle and low end.

"Under the double pressure of the CITES Convention and the trade barriers of timber exporting countries, raw material trading is restricted, tariffs are increasing, and cost increases are inevitable." Mr. Li, the head of a mahogany furniture store in Huizhou Maidi Road, told reporters that high-end mahogany products The price increase of furniture is imperative, and before that he received some news that the import and export of raw materials of redwood will be limited. However, the rise in raw material prices reflects that the terminal sales still need an adaptation process. Therefore, the mahogany furniture in his store. There is no price increase yet.

The reporter saw in the urban home of Jiangbei, a variety of mahogany furniture such as Brazilian rosewood, chicken wing wood, red rosewood and so on were sold in a conspicuous position. The price of a set of red rosewood mahogany furniture reached more than 1 million yuan. . A salesman who distributes mahogany furniture at the scene told the reporter that due to the influence of the CITES Convention, it is expected that the price of high-end mahogany furniture represented by rosewood will increase by about 10% from July this year.

It is understood that the most popular rosewood in the Huizhou market is the rosewood in the rosewood, and most of the mahogany furniture sold, most of which are from the Laos Sian rosewood, but with the Laojiao Dalbergia Restricted exports, furniture dealers also began to sell goods reluctantly.

“In the past month, the price of mahogany wood has continued to rise, especially the Sian rosewood and dimpled Dalbergia. Now the price has not only doubled, but it is estimated that it will not be bought in the future.” A salesperson of a mahogany furniture store said that With the rise of raw materials and labor, the price increase of mahogany furniture, especially the rosewood mahogany furniture entering the endangered list, will certainly be very high.

However, the salesperson also said that in recent years consumers are more rational about the consumption of mahogany furniture, and the sales of mahogany furniture are relatively stable, and the redwood species that are included in the new convention are only some of the rosewood wood, most of which are low and medium. The supply of end-of-the-line redwood species has been relatively stable, so it is unlikely that mid- and low-end mahogany furniture will increase in price.

Manufacturers take the opportunity to pick up the goods to deal with future out of stock

Relevant information shows that, in fact, the phenomenon of rising prices of mahogany raw materials has begun to appear since the end of last year.

According to industry insiders, in recent years, with the increasing scarcity of medium and high-end mahogany materials, the price of mahogany furniture has been climbing. Take the Sian rosewood as an example. Since the first half of this year, the price has risen by about 30%. The current price has reached more than 100,000 yuan per ton, and the high-grade Dalbergia has reached nearly 300,000 yuan per ton.

"Unlike the previous price increase method, the content of the new convention came into effect this month, almost forced out of the price increase by manufacturers and merchants in the form of out-of-sale." The mahogany furniture tasting area in Huizhou Jinhaima Home, one Sales staff said that due to the manufacturers have a certain expectation of the price increase, some of the remaining logs were quickly snapped up. At present, the Shenzhen Guanlan market, which is the main wholesale market of Siamese rosewood, even spread the message of “red rosewood wood scarcity”. .

According to reports, compared with the same period of last year, the current increase of Siamese rosewood has reached about 30%, especially the large and long materials in Siamese rosewood, which has increased by more than half of the increase. For this reason, the furniture museum has recently tightened. Purchased a batch of new red rosewood as a reserve, but the current mahogany furniture market is in the off-season, so most merchants will not choose to raise prices at this time, if the market price fluctuates greatly in the future, They will also adjust the price of wood furniture that is restricted to trade.

In this regard, some insiders suggest that consumers who purchase high-end mahogany furniture in the near future can consider the shot, because when the price surge occurs, the cost of consumer purchase will increase by about 20%, and the mahogany furniture market may fall into the future. "There is no market for price."

However, the reporter also learned from the Guangdong Furniture Association that the rapid increase in the price of mahogany furniture can not rule out the suspicion of market investment speculation. Under the interest-driven, some mahogany furniture was fired to a dozen times the original value. At the same time, good Mahogany furniture also needs good craftsmanship to add value. Consumers should purchase related products according to actual needs.

"New National Standard"

Hard to perform

The General Technical Conditions for Redwood Furniture (hereinafter referred to as “New National Standard”), which was issued on August 1, 2012, requires that all February sale of mahogany furniture must meet the standards from February 1, 2013, otherwise sales are prohibited.

At present, the new national standard has been in operation for more than four months. However, when visiting a number of mahogany furniture stores in Huizhou, the reporter found that there are still relatively few stores in the New Deal, and there will be “1 book, 1 card, 1 card” in the store. The manual, the product quality express card and the product certificate are only available in a small number.

A few days ago, the reporter saw in a mahogany furniture store near the Sanhuan Decoration City that the store was full of various products, but in addition to the regular price tag on the furniture, there were no three certificates required by the “new national standard”, and then consulted the store. The shopping guide learned that unless the reporter really buys, he can produce the "three certificates."

In fact, after visiting the urban mahogany furniture market, the reporter found that in addition to several large-scale home plazas and other formal stores, the mahogany furniture exhibition hall is equipped with "three certificates", and most of the other scattered home stores and mahogany furniture brands are independent stores. Does not have "three certificates."

Then, since the new standard has been introduced, who should supervise it?


“National mandatory standards are generally supervised by two departments. The issue of standardization is supervised by the quality and technical supervision department, and the implementation in the market is supervised by the industrial and commercial departments, and all have enforcement powers.” An industry of the Guangdong Furniture Association The person disclosed to reporters that according to the requirements of the relevant state departments, the half year is the buffer period of the brand and the market. That is to say, after half a year, the brand should unconditionally produce or implement the relevant requirements according to the standard. At present, the relevant departments can go to the site to supervise and correct some enterprises. Substandard behavior.

According to reports, the new national standard is not only beneficial to consumers, but also beneficial to manufacturers. If it is marked according to the new national standard, traditional cultural elements such as cultural implication, craftsmanship, and engraving can be conveyed. Therefore, businesses should be active. To equip the card and take the initiative to implement the new national standard, the only way to let consumers clearly understand the consumption.
