Office Chair Export
Office chair export involves several key aspects, including price, manufacturers, and compliance requirements.
Price: The export prices of office chairs vary significantly depending on their types and styles. For example, the wholesale price of outdoor park hot-dip plastic benches, which are popular exports to the United States, is 900 yuan. These benches are typically used in public places and require high durability and corrosion resistance. The price of a cross-border export ergonomic bow-shaped office chair with breathable mesh computer chair is 219.45 yuan. Its design focuses on portability and breathability, making it suitable for individual office use. The price of a foreign trade ergonomic chair with BIFMA certification for export mesh office chairs is 1,150 yuan. These chairs emphasize ergonomic design and comfort, usually equipped with adjustable features to meet the needs of long-term office work. The price differences mainly stem from the materials, functions, design complexity, and the purchasing power of the target market.
Manufacturers: Numerous domestic office chair manufacturers are involved in export business. Among them, Henglin is an industry leader, founded in 1998 and listed on the A-share market. It has ranked first in office chair export volume for 13 consecutive years and is one of the largest office chair manufacturers in China, known for its high-quality products and large-scale production. Additionally, companies such as Chongqing Yalou Urban Public Facilities Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Foshan Youjiayao Furniture Co., Ltd., and Anshan Jiwanyu Stone Mattress Co., Ltd. also offer exported office chair products. These companies may focus on specific niche markets, such as public facility chairs or office chairs made of special materials, expanding their international market presence through differentiated competition.
Compliance Requirements: Office chairs exported to the European Union must undergo EN1335 testing, which is the core basis for obtaining the CE mark. The EN1335 standard is divided into three parts: The first part defines the size codes and static strength benchmarks for office chairs, ensuring that the chair structure meets ergonomic and safety requirements. The second part specifies safety requirements, including stability testing (to prevent tipping) and chair wheel resistance testing (to ensure safe movement). The third part focuses on ergonomic evaluation, assessing the impact of the chair on the user's health. Companies must pass all testing items to legally use the CE mark and enter the EU market. This standard aims to protect consumer safety while promoting the uniformity and improvement of product quality.
