This is a soothing silicone teething ring specially designed for babies in the teething stage. It combines the cute chickens shape with gentle color aesthetics, providing gentle companionship to protect the baby’s teething period. The soft color aesthetics and cute design are inspired by the lively frog outline, creating a round and adorable ring-shaped silicone teething ring. There are 10 low-saturation macaroon colors, ranging from powder rose to foggy gray-blue, from warm mango to calm indigo. Each color is as soft as spring dew, not only soothing the baby’s visual senses but also becoming a gentle embellishment in the feeding scene. The gentle touch and reassuring protection are selected from food-grade liquid silicone. The texture is as soft as clouds, gently relieving the pain of teething when it lightly touches the gums, providing just the right comfort for the baby. The edges are finely polished, round and without sharp corners; the ring size (outer diameter about 7.84 cm, inner diameter about 7.2 cm) fits the arc of the baby’s small hand for grasping, and is not likely to slip when chewing, with every detail hiding a caring protection. The companion design and multi-scenario adaptability is both a soothing teething ring to relieve teething discomfort and a fun toy for the baby to grasp and play with. The high-temperature silicone material supports boiling disinfection, making daily cleaning easy and convenient; the lightweight and portable size allows it to accompany the baby through every stage of teething at home, outdoors, etc., becoming a gentle companion on the journey of growth. The healing gift and practical aesthetics with soft colors and cute designs make it not only a practical good but also like a nurturing newborn gift. The rich color selection is suitable for different feeding scenarios, whether for personal use or as a gift for friends and relatives, it can convey a gentle parenting intention.

Thoughtful anti-slip and easy-to-hold :Beechwood inner ring is smooth and fine, easy to hold without slipping, suitable for babies’ small hands
Size :7.84*7.2cm
Daily family life: When the baby wakes up to play or sits alone seeking comfort, this helps relieve the itching and swelling of the gums during teething and replaces the habit of sucking on fingers.
When out: Portable and easy to carry, strollers, dining tables and chairs, and travel bags are always prepared. This helps soothe the baby without causing panic.
Early education interaction: In parent-child games, guide the baby to grasp, which helps develop the baby’s fine motor skills.
Sleep assistance: Gentle rocking to calm the baby’s emotions and accompany the baby to fall asleep smoothly, suitable for relaxation before bedtime.
Q1: Is the material of this rattle safe? Will there be any problems if the baby chews on it?
A: It is completely safe. The main body is made of food-grade edible silicone and natural beechwood, without any unpleasant smell or harmful additives. It complies with the safety standards for infant products, so the baby can chew on it without any worries and without any burden.
Q2: Is the silicone part prone to getting dirty? How should it be cleaned and disinfected?
A: Cleaning is super convenient. Daily use can be done with just water rinsing; for deep disinfection, boiling water can be used (3-5 minutes). The silicone is temperature-resistant and the beechwood is waterproof. It won’t age or deform even after repeated disinfection.
Q3: Will the baby slip when holding it? What age range is it suitable for?
A: It won’t slip. The inner beechwood part is smooth and has texture, providing a self-anti-slip effect, which fits the baby’s habit of holding with their small hands. It is specially designed for babies in the teething stage, suitable for infants aged 3-24 months, meeting their different stages of teething and soothing needs.
Designed specifically for infants aged 3 to 24 months during the teething period, suitable for babies with teeth grinding or sucking their fingers habits, and those who need emotional comfort.
Before the first use, the entire product should be placed in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes for disinfection, or it can be cleaned by soaking in a baby-specific dishwashing agent, then dried and used by the baby.
III. Correct Usage Methods
After cleaning and disinfecting, hand the rattle to the baby and guide them to independently grasp the inner wooden ring. Let the silicone part fit against the gums for chewing, and use the raised particles to massage the gums to relieve discomfort.
After each use, rinse the surface stains with clean water, or gently wipe the silicone gaps with a soft-bristled brush. After drying, store it in a ventilated and dry place.
This product is not food and cannot replace complementary food. It is only used for teething and soothing purposes.
User 1 (6-month-old baby): The material is very soft. The baby feels very safe when chewing on it. Before, the baby always sucked her fingers. Now, when held in the arms, she doesn’t chew anymore. When shaken, it makes a soft sound, which is great for soothing sleep. The appearance quality is also high. The macaron color is particularly eye-catching.
User 2 (new mom): The cleaning is very convenient. Even after boiling and steaming, it doesn’t deform. The beechwood part doesn’t slip. My baby’s little hands won’t let go once grabbed it. When the baby is fussy during the teething period, giving this can soothe her. The cost-performance ratio is absolutely amazing.
User 3 (second child mother): This baby teething toy is more practical than the ones I bought before. The silicone is durable and can withstand chewing. There are no loose pieces or color fading. The baby can use it for teething and also for playing. It’s also good for developing hand-eye coordination. I have already recommended it to other mothers around me.
User 4 (Baby 10 months): The sound is not harsh. The baby doesn’t resist. When the gums itch, the baby chews for a while and then becomes quiet. The details are well done. There are no sharp edges or corners. The baby can play with it without worry. It’s worth buying.

New Policy on Export Tax Rebates for Daily Necessities Takes Effect on April 1st: Structural Adjustments Guide Foreign Trade Enterprises to Upgrade Starting from April 1st, the 2026 export tax rebate adjustment policy for daily necessities (Announcement No. 2) has officially taken effect. Focusing on structural adjustments, it adopts “selective reductions and protections” for tax rebates of ceramics, household items and batteries, with the customs declaration export date as the sole criterion, affecting enterprises’ costs and profits and promoting the industry’s shift to high-quality development. Traditional daily necessities (e.g., ceramics, ordinary glass) have their tax rebate rate cut from 3%-9% to 0% without a transition period. Civilian batteries will see a rate drop from 9% to 6% (Apr-Dec 2026) and full abolition in 2027. Meanwhile, high-value-added products (e.g., high-end home textiles, eco-friendly household goods) are supported, with some tax rebates raised from 11% to 13%. A taxation official said the adjustment is not “one-size-fits-all” but aims to optimize the industry and promote green, branded development. A late-March customs declaration rush occurred as enterprises rushed to lock in tax rebates. A Guangzhou foreign trade enterprise noted zero tax rebate for ceramic tableware has increased costs, leading to price negotiations and order adjustments. Compliant declaration is key: accurate HS code declaration and complete document filing are required, with strict inspection on irregularities. Export tax rebates are fully electronized for higher efficiency. Taxation and customs departments have provided policy guidance. Insiders said short-term pressure will accelerate industry reshuffling, urging enterprises to increase R&D and expand high-value-added products and cross-border e-commerce. A Ministry of Commerce spokesperson stated the adjustment optimizes foreign trade structure. Relevant departments will optimize tax rebate services to help enterprises transition and boost high-quality daily necessities exports.
China Strengthens Export Controls on Dual-Use Items to Regulate Foreign Trade Order Since the beginning of 2026, China has achieved remarkable results in upgrading export control measures for dual-use items. This upgrade not only implements the requirements of relevant regulations but also aligns with the needs of the foreign trade industry. Through full-chain supervision, while safeguarding national security and fulfilling international obligations, it regulates foreign trade operations, and supports the high-quality development of foreign trade and the stability of global industrial and supply chains. Dual-use items refer to goods, technologies, and services that have both civil and military uses and may be used in fields related to weapons of mass destruction, which are a key focus of China’s foreign trade supervision. The core principle of China’s control is to balance security and development, ensure the smooth flow of legitimate foreign trade, and strictly prevent relevant items from flowing into sensitive areas. This control focuses on key strategic items in the foreign trade field such as tungsten and rare earths, refines the control list, and strengthens approval and port supervision. In February 2025, 25 tungsten-related items were included in the control list, requiring special permits for export; in January 2026, the measures were tightened, prohibiting the export of tungsten products to relevant Japanese military enterprises and implementing “penetrating supervision”. The General Administration of Customs stated that China has established a full-chain supervision system, abolished the registration of export operators, implemented paperless license management, optimized the approval and inspection processes, and guided enterprises to avoid risks through compliance training. The upgrade of controls has affected the global foreign trade pattern and promoted the optimization of China’s foreign trade structure, leading to a rise in global tungsten prices and forcing enterprises to strengthen compliance construction and transform to high-value-added fields. The Ministry of Commerce stated that the policy is in line with domestic laws and international practices, and it will dynamically adjust the control list and strengthen international cooperation in the future. Insiders believe that strengthening controls not only safeguards national security but also regulates foreign trade order, and subsequent efforts will deepen inter-departmental coordination to support the steady and long-term development of foreign trade.

Breaking: Iran Announces Two-Week Ceasefire Extension, Negotiations to Proceed Combined reports from Tehran and Beijing — Local time on April 8th, Iranian officials officially announced that they will maintain the two-week ceasefire agreement previously reached with relevant parties, which took effect in the early hours of the same day. Meanwhile, the Iranian delegation has departed and will travel to Islamabad on April 10th to participate in multilateral negotiations mediated by Pakistan, focusing on key issues regarding the follow-up arrangements of the ceasefire and the de-escalation of the situation. The framework of this ceasefire agreement was officially approved and confirmed by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on April 7th. Iranian officials emphasized that the core goal of the ceasefire is “to avoid further escalation of the regional situation and create a stable window for diplomatic negotiations.” The agreement clearly requires all relevant parties to fully cease military operations, end hostile frictions, and jointly safeguard the regional peace and environment. At the same time, Iran reaffirmed that the ceasefire is not a compromise, but a rational choice based on safeguarding national core interests and gaining time for domestic people’s livelihood recovery and construction. If the negotiation process deviates from the established track, Iran reserves the right to take all necessary measures. According to a disclosure by Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Islamabad negotiations will gather representatives from Iran, the United States and their respective allies, with core topics including the security guarantee of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the path to lifting regional sanctions, the protection of civilian facilities, and the handling of legacy issues from the conflict. As the mediator, Pakistan will coordinate the positions of all parties throughout the process and promote the negotiation to form a specific and implementable consensus document. Pakistan’s Prime Minister’s Office stated publicly that this negotiation is an important opportunity for the de-escalation of the Middle East situation, and Pakistan will make every effort to promote the two parties to achieve phased results during the two-week ceasefire period. The United States confirmed through the White House spokesperson that it will strictly abide by the provisions of the ceasefire agreement, suspend all military strikes against Iran, and has arranged the relevant diplomatic team to attend the meeting as scheduled. The U.S. side stated that it looks forward to resolving current differences through negotiations, and emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz, as a global energy transportation artery, its navigation safety is a common concern of all parties, and it is willing to consult with Iran to establish a temporary security guarantee mechanism. However, the U.S. side did not make a clear response to Iran’s core demands such as uranium enrichment and the lifting of sanctions, only stating that it will “comprehensively discuss all issues” during the negotiations. Israel, on the other hand, released a cautious signal. The Israel Defense Forces announced that it will suspend air strikes against Iran’s mainland, but emphasized that “operations against terrorist organizations in the Lebanese direction are not subject to the ceasefire.” The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated that Israel will “continue to monitor Iran’s compliance with the agreement” and reserve the “right to self-defense.” This statement highlights the complexity of the Middle East situation, and the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement still faces many variables. The response to the ceasefire agreement in Iran is rational. According to reports from Iranian state media, the ongoing military conflict has led to damage to some military facilities, interruption of oil exports, and the people’s demand for peace and development has become increasingly strong. The Iranian government stated that during the ceasefire period, it will give priority to ensuring the supply of people’s livelihood materials, promote the recovery of economic order, and at the same time accelerate the restoration of the military industry system to lay a solid foundation for subsequent negotiations. Iranian people generally hope that the negotiations can bring long-term peace and reduce economic and people’s livelihood pressures. The international community generally welcomes this ceasefire. A spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General stated that the United Nations fully supports Pakistan’s mediation efforts, calls on all parties to strictly abide by the ceasefire agreement, and resolve differences through dialogue and consultation. Russia, the European Union, France, Germany and other countries have successively issued statements, saying that the ceasefire provides a key opportunity for the de-escalation of the Middle East situation, and expressed hope that the Islamabad negotiations can achieve substantive progress, calling on all parties to abandon the confrontation mentality and jointly maintain regional stability. Analysts pointed out that the two-week ceasefire provides a valuable buffer period for the Middle East situation, but the differences between Iran and relevant parties on core interests have not been fundamentally resolved. Issues such as the security of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of sanctions, and uranium enrichment still require great efforts from both sides. The success or failure of the Islamabad negotiations will directly affect the direction of regional peace, and the international community needs to continue to pay attention to and promote the negotiation process to avoid the situation returning to tension. At present, the Iranian delegation has completed pre-departure preparations, focusing on formulating negotiation plans around specific issues such as the ceasefire supervision mechanism, people’s livelihood assistance, and shipping safety. It is expected to arrive in Islamabad on April 10th and hold intensive consultations with all parties.

Phase 2 of the 139th Canton Fair: Quality Lifestyle and Creative Design Converge, Illuminating New Scenarios for Home Furnishings Foreign Trade NEWS REPORT From April 23 to 27, Phase 2 of the 139th Canton Fair successfully kicked off, centering on consumer goods and home building materials such as household products, gifts & decorations, building materials & furniture, daily-use ceramics, kitchen & dining utensils, outdoor facilities, bamboo & wood home goods, and prefabricated houses. It presented global buyers with a trade feast that blends aesthetic design and practical functionality.

The outdoor products and kitchen utensils sections drew high foot traffic, precisely matching consumption upgrade trends in markets like Europe, the Americas, and Southeast Asia, becoming a key driver of growth in home furnishings foreign trade.
Phase 1 of the 139th Canton Fair: Smart Manufacturing and Green Tech Lead the Way, Fueling New Engines for Global Trade NEWS REPORT From April 15 to 19, the 139th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) Phase 1 grandly opened in Guangzhou. As one of the world’s largest comprehensive international trade events, this phase focuses on core sectors including consumer electronics & home appliances, industrial manufacturing, vehicles & two-wheelers, lighting & electrical equipment, hardware tools, new energy, smart wearables, display technology, and drones.

Parallel professional forums and procurement matching events were held throughout the fair, facilitating precise demand alignment between Chinese and foreign merchants and elevating cross-border trade and technical cooperation to new heights.
The 139th Canton Fair: Intensive preparations underway, a key platform for foreign trade enterprises to break through Core Information (Officially Confirmed) The 139th Spring Canton Fair will be held in three phases from April 15th to May 5th, 2026, at the Pazhou Exhibition Hall in Guangzhou (No. 382, Yuedong Middle Road, Haizhu District), with an exhibition area of over 1.55 million square meters and 55 professional exhibition areas. It is expected to attract over 32,000 enterprises to participate and 310,000 overseas buyers to attend. Key points for participation and business connection Compliance and brand display: This session of the Canton Fair has strengthened the “green and beautiful booth” requirements. The construction materials must meet the B1-level flame retardant standard, and the recyclability rate must not be lower than the regulations of the exhibition hall. Participating enterprises need to prepare environmental protection test reports of the materials in advance to avoid on-site rectification. Independent station enterprises can link the exhibition booth with their online stores, set up “Canton Fair exclusive discount codes”, guide buyers to leave contact information online, and then complete repeat purchases through the independent station. Precise connection with procurement demands: In response to the US tariff policy and the situation in the Middle East, enterprises can focus on showcasing “tariff optimization solutions” (such as modular products, customizable split models) and “logistics alternative solutions” (such as China-Europe Railway Express transportation, third-party overseas warehouse stocking) at their booths. Procurement agencies can prepare “procurement service manuals”, highlighting core advantages such as tariff calculation, tax refund assistance, and multi-channel logistics integration, to attract overseas buyers with cross-border procurement needs. Seizing opportunities in emerging markets: The Canton Fair will attract a large number of buyers from Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Enterprises can optimize their product structure in advance and launch high-cost-performance products for emerging markets. At the same time, they can use the official online platform of the Canton Fair to upload product information in advance and activate the “appointment negotiation” function to improve the efficiency of offline connections. Comprehensive response suggestions for foreign trade enterprises Short-term emergency response: Immediately sort out goods in transit and confirm the latest route arrangements with shipping companies; Recalculate the tariff costs for orders from the US and update the quotation sheets; sign supplementary agreements for orders from the Middle East to clarify the risk-sharing mechanism. Medium-term layout: Leverage the Canton Fair to expand the customer base in emerging markets and optimize the market structure; strengthen SEO and keyword optimization for the independent website, with a focus on capturing search traffic from non-US and non-Middle East markets; establish a full-service system for procurement enterprises that integrates tariff calculation, logistics integration, and tax rebate assistance. Long-term planning: Establish a real-time monitoring mechanism for tariff policies and geopolitical situations, reserve overseas warehouse resources in advance to reduce reliance on a single logistics channel; increase investment in product research and development, launch high-value-added products, and enhance the ability to cope with tariff costs.Contact us!
Escalation of the Middle East Situation: Major shipping routes blocked, high risks of fulfilling orders during the Ramadan peak season Spillover effects of geopolitical conflicts In early March 2026, the geopolitical confrontation in the Middle East continued to escalate, with the risk levels of the Strait of Hormuz (through which 30% of global crude oil and a large number of containers pass) and the Red Sea soaring. Major shipping companies such as Maersk, MSC, and COSCO Shipping collectively suspended some bookings on Middle East routes, and ships were forced to detour around the Cape of Good Hope. This move directly led to the extension of the voyage time on the Asia-Europe route from 25-30 days to 40-50 days, a 40% drop in the turnover efficiency of individual vessels, and a 8%-12% contraction in global effective capacity. The disruption in logistics triggered a chain reaction: core ports in the Middle East (such as Jebel Ali Port in Dubai) faced operational restrictions, with severe cargo backlogs; air hubs like Dubai and Doha saw their trans-Eurasian air transport capacity halved due to airspace control, and freight rates soared in a retaliatory manner. As of March 9th, the freight rate for a 40-foot container on the Middle East route skyrocketed to $6,000 per FEU, and war risk insurance premiums increased by 300%-500% compared to before, with the average emergency conflict surcharge reaching up to $3,000 per container. Core Impact on Foreign Trade Business and Response Strategies The crisis of contract fulfillment is highlighted: Mid-March coincides with the Eid al-Fitr after the Islamic Ramadan, a core consumption season in the Middle East. A large amount of pre-stocked goods are stuck in transit, and Amazon’s Middle East warehouses and local retailers have begun to reject new shipments. Cross-border e-commerce platforms (such as Shein and Temu) have announced significant delays in delivery. Procurement agencies need to promptly inform customers of the location of the goods and the estimated arrival time, and negotiate delayed fulfillment or alternative port solutions. Rising risks in payment and settlement: Payment channels in the Middle East are fluctuating, and the uncertainty of letter of credit (L/C) redemption has increased. Some countries have shown signs of tightening foreign exchange controls. It is recommended that enterprises prioritize the use of pre-T/T (full advance payment) for new customers in the Middle East, and strictly control the payment terms for existing customers to avoid the risk of bad debts from credit sales. Urgent need for market diversification: The conflict has led to a short-term decline in demand in the Middle East. Some enterprises have accelerated their layout in emerging markets such as South America, Africa, and Central Asia. Independent station sellers can optimize keywords for emerging markets through SEO, launch multi-language pages, and divert risks from the Middle East business. Procurement agencies can expand procurement demands in non-Middle East regions to balance their business structure.
The current foreign trade market is facing multiple overlapping shocks: The US federal government has raised the “global temporary tariff” rate to 15%, with legal disputes and tax refund procedures advancing simultaneously; the escalation of the Middle East geopolitical conflict has blocked shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, causing a sharp increase in logistics costs and high risks of fulfilling orders during the Ramadan peak season; meanwhile, the 139th Spring Canton Fair is in the final stage of preparation, becoming a key window for enterprises to cope with market fluctuations and expand their global customer base. These three core issues are intertwined, profoundly affecting the operation of international trade independent stations, the layout of purchasing agency businesses, and customer service strategies. US Tariff Policy: 15% Temporary Tariff About to Take Effect, Legal Battles and Tax Refunds Proceeding in Parallel Core Policy Changes On February 20, 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the large-scale tariffs implemented by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) lacked legal authorization, and the relevant measures were immediately terminated. On the same day, President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to announce a 10% global temporary import tariff for 150 days, which took effect on February 24; the next day, he announced an increase in the rate to 15%, and the US Treasury Secretary confirmed that the rate is expected to be implemented within this week. This temporary tariff clearly defines the exemption scope, including critical minerals, energy products, pharmaceuticals and components, passenger vehicles and some parts, aerospace products, etc., aiming to reduce the impact on the US domestic industrial chain. Regarding trade with China, the US has stopped collecting the “fentanyl tariffs” and some reciprocal tariffs previously imposed under IEEPA, and instead applies a 10% temporary surcharge (soon to be raised to 15%). The Ministry of Commerce of China has stated that it will closely assess and adjust countermeasures as necessary, and is willing to engage in candid negotiations during the 6th round of China-US economic and trade consultations. Core Impacts on Foreign Trade Enterprises and Responses Dual pressure of cost and compliance: The 15% temporary tariff will directly increase the cost of US exports, squeezing the profit margins of non-exempted categories (such as consumer goods and some industrial finished products). Independent station sellers need to recalculate pricing to avoid a decline in price competitiveness due to tariff costs. Opportunities for tax refunds and cumbersome processes: Data from the US Court of International Trade shows that the previous tariffs imposed under IEEPA involved a refund amount of 175 billion US dollars. On March 6, the court held a settlement meeting with government lawyers to advance the refund process. Enterprises involved in the relevant tariffs and exporters should immediately sort out the payment vouchers from February 2025 to February 2026 and submit tax refund applications to the US Customs and Border Protection. Legal uncertainty risks: More than 20 US states (led by California and New York) have jointly filed lawsuits, accusing the president of overstepping his authority in imposing comprehensive tariffs under Section 122. The outcome of the subsequent case may lead to further adjustments in the tariff policy. Enterprises should avoid signing long-term fixed-price orders to the US and include a “tariff adjustment force majeure clause” in the contract.
