Taobao And Other Joint Appeals: Be Alert To Foreign Garbage Clothes

Foreign trade clothing is favored by consumers because of its good quality and fashionable style. Especially in recent years, the development of online shopping platform has begun to fight for online shopping. Recently, the China Apparel Association, China Electronic Commerce Association and Taobao jointly launched an initiative to ban foreign garbage network transactions to the national clothing operators, consumers and online trading platforms.

Foreign garbage online transformed into single Orphan Products

According to the initiative, clothing and clothing commodities account for 12.8% of the total volume of online shopping in 2009, and the transaction volume is expected to exceed 30 billion yuan in 2010. However, while the online shopping market is developing vigorously, some illegal operators are selling the smuggled foreign garbage clothes imported from smuggling channels online, which seriously threaten consumers' health. I saw in a famous online shopping mall in China that there are a large number of garments in foreign trade and foreign clothing, and there are about one million pieces of clothing that appear on the key words of "foreign trade". The price is several yuan, and several hundred yuan. A shopkeeper who is engaged in online foreign trade clothing business tells the author that there are indeed some people selling foreign garbage on the Internet under the banner of foreign trade and foreign goods. For example, some of the clothes on the Internet that claim "outside alone" are actually foreign garbage.

Foreign garbage hygiene is serious.

Tianjin clothing trade association responsible person told me that these foreign garbage entering the Chinese market is part of the outdated old clothes abroad, some of them are from funeral parlour, others are from the garbage disposal plant, and the clothing hygiene problem is serious. Due to the low price and good fabric, these foreign garbage had a certain market in the city from the end of 80s to the beginning of 90s, but later, due to the clearance by relevant departments, foreign garbage basically disappeared. However, at present, there are still a small amount of foreign garbage sold in the night market and second-hand market in addition to some foreign garbage storage networks.

How to identify foreign garbage effectively

I have seen in some forums that many online buyers say they often buy foreign trade clothing through the Internet, but they do not know that foreign trash is hidden, and they hope to understand the common sense of identifying foreign garbage. At the same time, many netizens have provided their own identification methods. Among them, the most effective way to identify online shopping is to see the number of clothes provided by businessmen, because foreign garbage is basically a style with only one piece, so when the seller sells most of the clothes on the Internet, buyers will be vigilant. At the same time, the Tianjin clothing trade association responsible person also said in the interview that although the foreign garbage clothes had been done plastic ironing before selling, there would still be a smell of perfume and sweat stains, or a disinfectant taste, which is very difficult to remove. In addition, consumers can also recognize the appearance of clothing, such as most of the clothing has trails, some countries' "foreign garbage" clothing at the collar or cuffs, there is the name of the user.
