Online Shopping Clothes Guard Against "Foreign Garbage"

The China clothing association, China Electronic Commerce Association and Taobao have jointly issued a "ban on foreign garbage clothing network paction" proposal, which reminded consumers to take the initiative to understand the hazards and identification methods of "foreign garbage" clothing and prevent illegal traders from selling "foreign garbage" clothing in the name of "super low price", "foreign trade tail cargo" and "export to domestic sales".

According to official statistics, clothing trade accounted for 12.8% of the online shopping volume in 2009, and the paction volume in 2010 is expected to exceed 30 billion yuan.

However, some illegal operators make use of the concealment of network sales and asymmetry of information, and sell online "foreign garbage" clothing imported from smuggling channels, which seriously threatens consumers' health.

Liu Xiao, a young city in Lanzhou who has been running in Gansu province for a period of time, told reporters that "foreign garbage" is mostly imported old clothes, almost all of which have been passed by others, mainly from foreign garbage dumps and even morgue.

However, because some of the clothes are of better style and become more fashionable, they are even "big brands". They are picked out, ironed, polished, patched and re sold.

Mr. Chen, who lives in the city of Nankai District, told reporters that in May this year, he saw a super low price clothing sale on a wholesale clothing website, so he entered more than 200 yuan. The quality of the clothes received was general but still new.

So he got in 1000 yuan, and then opened the goods. It was a terrible smell from his clothes. His clothes were shabby, and his necklines and cuffs were all stained with sweat.

In addition to putting forward the proposal to ban the foreign garbage clothing network paction, the clothing business enterprise and network trading platform should fully cooperate with the relevant government departments to crack down on "foreign garbage" clothing business, but also remind consumers to take the initiative to understand the hazards and identification methods of "foreign garbage" clothing, require operators to produce certificates and invoices, and prevent illegal businesses from selling "foreign garbage" clothing in the name of "super low price", "foreign trade tail cargo" and "export to domestic sales".

When the legitimate rights and interests are infringed, timely report complaints to the online trading platform and relevant government departments, and pay attention to the preservation and provision of valid credentials.

To this end, the clothing sales industry insiders, to distinguish "foreign trash" clothing first look at whether the trademark looks old. "Foreign garbage" clothing has been washed for many times because it has been washed for a long time, so the trademark (mainly refers to the main label and washing label) will curl, slant, yellow hair, old, specifications and number unclear.

In addition, we should also look at the old and new parts of the key parts, such as armpits, elbows, necklines, etc.

"Foreign trash" clothes are crossed, and the armpits and elbows are prone to wrinkles because they are often bent. New clothes will not have this problem.
