With the formal implementation of the United States "Compound Wood Products Formaldehyde Standards Act", the formaldehyde emission limits for wood products such as particleboard, medium density fiberboard and hardwood plywood supplied, sold or manufactured in the United States have been greatly increased. Taking particleboard as an example, the amount of formaldehyde released must not exceed 0.09 mg/kg, which is 1,000 times higher than our national standard.
The implementation of this "Act" poses a great challenge to China's export of wood products to the United States, and it also has a significant impact on the export of wood products from Yantai City. The author obtained information from the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Yantai. So far, the city has exported a total of 3,004 batches of wooden products with a value of US$ 63.65 million, which is 11.39% and 15% lower than the same period.

In the development of recent years, the proportion of wood products exported from Yantai to Europe and the United States has gradually increased, which has accounted for one-third of the total exports of the city, but this year's export situation is not optimistic. “This aspect is affected by the sluggish economic situation in some European countries and the United States. On the other hand, it is also affected by the United States “Complex Wood Products Formaldehyde Standards Act.†Yantai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the phytosanitary supervision of the supervision of the responsible person responsible for timber People said that Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States are currently the main areas for the export of wood products from Yantai, with a total of more than 90%.

In recent years, affected by the economic crisis, the export growth of wood products in our city has slowed down. Coupled with the influence of foreign environmental and technical barriers, export enterprises in our city have faced pressure in the past two years.
“There are currently 86 companies registered with us, of which there are more than 50 companies that often have export business, and the scale is relatively large.†The responsible person for supervision of the wood control superintendent of the Phytosanitary Bureau stated that the development from the past few years As for the trend, the degree of automation of wood export enterprises in our city has been significantly improved.
A person in charge of a wood product export company stated that the old idea that woodworking could be done with an ax and a saw was outdated. Now almost every company has added a lot of machines. Many programs do not require workers to personally Hands-on, as long as the input of relevant data, there will be machines to do it. “Now the production time of some spare parts has been reduced by more than one time, and the improvement of the degree of automation is also in line with the development trend of the export of wood products. With the increasing complexity of the specifications and scales of various parts and components, manual work alone cannot be sufficient. Therefore, improving the automation of production not only improves the production efficiency and accuracy, but also saves a lot of labor. Several small businesses were eliminated because of the low level of automation and the difficulty in meeting the export requirements."
All wood products that want to be exported must be inspected by the inspection and quarantine bureau. According to the person in charge of supervision of the wood control superintendent of the phytosanitary department, it is generally necessary to pass nearly ten tests for animals, plants, weeds, formaldehyde, and heavy metals.

For example, pure solid wood furniture needs to be inspected by items such as formaldehyde and paint. Products exported to EU countries need to be tested by heavy metals, microbes, etc. Some developed countries have begun to require some furniture to obtain forest certification. Similarly, imported wood products must undergo rigorous testing before they can enter the market.
