"Outside the single throw goods, all 20 yuan, Japan and South Korea new style, export to the United States......"

Many foreign trade shops often use such "selling points" to attract consumers.

Recently, Ms. Wang spent 20 yuan on a small foreign trade shirt, with large stains on her cuffs, worn marks on her necklines, and no labels.

According to the press survey, many foreign trade shops sell dog meat, and some cheap foreign trade products are actually foreign garbage.

"Ocean Garbage" change into the store

"Foreign garbage" 3000 yuan a large package, shipped to the domestic "20 yuan one".

According to Ms. Wang, the reporter came to Jimo Road, where there are about eight or nine foreign trade shops, and no sign of any shop names were hung. Only a few clothes were hung at the door to attract consumers.

The reporter walked into a shop where several customers were squatting in the clothes heap and picking up clothes. A shop assistant was pressing the old clothes aside.

Through the cracks in the curtains, the reporters saw many clothes stacked in the interior of the house.

"Why does this dress look so old?"

"This is second-hand clothes. They are all old clothes worn by Koreans and shipped to our country."

"Are these clothes clean?"

"It's very clean. Just wash the water before you wear it."

Shopkeepers told reporters that these clothes were shipped from Korea. They were bought on the bag, a large bag of 3000 yuan, and there were about 500 clothes in each bag, about 20 yuan each.

"Is it illegal to sell second-hand clothes?"

"What's wrong with it? Everyone is selling it."

Reporters interviewed several stores and found that they sold "foreign garbage". Most of the businessmen were obscurity about the source of clothes. Only those cheap clothes were foreign trade orders, new clothes and nothing else.

"Foreign garbage" carries the virus.

According to Mr. Liu, who has been engaged in clothing import business for many years, the foreign trade goods such as the so-called foreign trade tail goods, the original factory merchandiser, the foreign trade merchandiser and so on are all produced domestically, and are not imported from abroad at all, and the price can not be so low.

Some of the cheap clothes on the market are called "foreign garbage" imported from abroad.

Mr. Liu said that in foreign countries, it is very expensive to deal with some old clothes made of chemical fiber and silk fabrics, so they sell these old clothes simply after they are sold to developing countries like China and India, which can earn money and deal with garbage.

Because of the considerable profits of second-hand clothing, some bad merchants smuggle old clothes into foreign markets from foreign morgue, hospitals and other places.

Clothes with better quality are sent to some small processing plants for re processing, sold to some of the more high-end foreign trade stores, and generally sold to individual merchants.

Mr. Liu said that because these clothes are of unknown origin, they often carry a lot of viruses and do great harm to the human body.

Is secondhand clothing allowed to be sold on the market?

Sui Siyu, a lawyer at Shandong Hua Lu law firm, said that according to the relevant regulations, foreign garbage can be imported to a specific unit for specific purposes when it is strictly examined and approved by relevant state departments when there is a need. But so far, it is not allowed to sell second-hand clothing for individual consumers.

Why is it repeated?

Qingdao City Industrial and Commercial Bureau North Branch Jiaozhou Road Industrial and commercial office staff told reporters, "the problem of foreign garbage" has existed for a long time, we have received relevant complaints years ago, and according to the law, but because most of these foreign trade shops in residential areas, no shop names, as long as to check, they shut down, and said they are their own clothes drying, not for sale, so it is very difficult to deal with.

However, more than 10 years ago, according to the public complaints, we have investigated and dealt with the foreign garbage in accordance with the law. However, if we want to really exterminate the "foreign garbage", we need to cooperate with customs, health and other departments.

Foreign garbage: foreign garbage is commonly known as imported clothing. It refers to people who smuggle abroad in groups by weight and smuggled abroad, which have been worn out by other people, mainly from foreign garbage dumps and morgue.

However, because some of the clothes are of better style and become more fashionable, they are even "big brands". They are selected and re sold by some clothing traders.

After ironing, polishing and repairing, junk goods will become famous brand goods in many foreign trade shops, selling at the price of 1/5 to 1/10 original.

Foreign trade tail cargo: quality inspection has not passed the goods, and manufacturers use the remaining part of fabric and accessories in accordance with the style of foreign trade production of untested goods.
