Zeyu Housing: How can foreign trade enterprises break through the encirclement after China and Europ
TIME：2025-05-13 VIEWS：255
On May 6th, China and the European Parliament simultaneously lifted all restrictions on exchanges, marking the full resumption of exchanges between the legislative bodies of both sides. This will deepen mutual communication and understanding, injecting new impetus into the sustained, healthy, and stable development of China-Europe relations.
The news undoubtedly provided a "booster shot" for the sustained development of foreign trade enterprises in the European market.
As a source factory with 11 years of deep experience in the field of integrated container housing, Zeyu Housing's products cover more than 80 countries along the "Belt and Road" and in Europe and America. Our products not only meet China's domestic production standards but also comply with international export standards, and with the expansion of foreign trade, international export standards are also being extended.
Facing the "complete lifting of restrictions on exchanges between China and Europe", what kind of benefits will foreign trade enterprises with "integrated housing" as their leading business usher in? And how will they seize the opportunity and break through the encirclement in this favorable situation?
Favorable situation
Tariff pressure eases
After the resumption of normalized dialogue between Chinese and European legislative bodies, the policy coordination between the two sides in areas such as green economy and digital trade has been enhanced, which is conducive to avoiding the EU following the US in imposing "reciprocal tariffs" on Chinese products.
As a green building product, prefabricated houses can enjoy tariff benefits through the expansion mechanism of the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement.
The threshold for entry has been lowered
The China-EU Investment Agreement has removed requirements for joint ventures and equity restrictions in the manufacturing sector, allowing companies to directly enter the European market through greenfield investments and simplifying the process of establishing assembly bases in EU member states.
Improvement in logistics efficiency
The Alataw Pass and Khorgos ports have increased the transportation efficiency of modular components for integrated housing by over 30% through the "rail-road intermodal transportation" and "fast customs clearance" modes.
Break through the encirclement
Improve product quality
Facing the rapidly changing market and increasingly fierce competition, Chinese foreign trade enterprises have continuously intensified their innovation efforts, accelerated their transformation and upgrading, and made greater efforts in improving product quality, increasing technological content, enhancing brand strength, and meeting environmental protection requirements. They aim to create new competitive advantages through continuously increasing the "newness", "greenness", and "digitalization" content.
Build standard certification barriers
Enterprises that are the first to pass the EU CE certification and EN1090 building steel structure certification can form a competitive advantage in terms of access qualifications. For example, developing earthquake-resistant container houses that meet the BS EN 1993 standard can break through the procurement threshold of British municipal engineering projects.
Accurately match government procurement projects
For government bidding projects such as refugee resettlement and temporary medical facilities in Europe, we will form a bidding consortium with local construction contractors. Leveraging the data platform of the China-Europe Joint Chamber of Commerce, we can obtain real-time information on infrastructure bidding from EU member states. In 2024, the government procurement scale for modular buildings in Germany has exceeded 4.8 billion euros.
Seize the EU green infrastructure market
The EU fund has clearly listed green buildings as a key investment direction, and integrated box house enterprises can obtain government orders by matching European low-carbon building standards through technological innovations such as photovoltaic roofs and low-carbon building materials. Under the China Europe tariff coordination mechanism, modular building products that meet geographical indication certification can reduce import taxes by 5% -8%.
Deeply involved in the reconstruction of the China Europe industrial chain
With the newly revised "Transparency Internal Rules" of the European Parliament, companies can more conveniently communicate with local legislative bodies and establish a hybrid production model of "modular factories+on-site assembly" in areas with strong infrastructure demand such as Germany and Poland.
According to the sales data of Zeyu Housing over the years, although the current external environment is becoming more complex and severe, with the increasing efforts of stabilizing foreign trade policies, Chinese foreign trade enterprises are exploring and innovating, overcoming difficulties, and working together to meet challenges. The resilience of China's foreign trade will continue to emerge, and the development momentum will be even stronger.
