After a month of busy overtime work, Wu Qingfen, the general manager of Yiwu City Jingwen Import and Export Co., Ltd., who said in mid-May, "We must work hard," has now resumed the normal arrangements for production capacity. "The orders from our major American clients have been basically filled in early June," Wu Qingfen said. The recent wave of prioritizing American clients and meeting all their orders has been very effective. In addition, "there have been several unexpected orders that we didn't expect to receive yet, but they were all placed ahead of schedule." These orders include not only ordinary socks but also Christmas season decorative stockings. This also means that, compared to previous years, this year's Christmas purchasing season has started nearly two months earlier. Behind this is the factor of the "90-day window period" for tariffs it has been open since May 12th, and a month has already passed. However, foreign trade professionals also indicate that it's not just the United States; due to factors such as longer shipping times, clients worldwide are placing orders much earlier. The rush to secure orders is about time and certainty, and the demand itself has not been noticeably affected by tariffs. The significant early start of the Christmas peak season in foreign trade is a microcosm of how the market is responding to uncertainty, and it also serves as proof that Chinese manufacturing is irreplaceable on a global scale.
