Shishi Garment Export Enterprises Are Facing Another Round Of Trade Barriers.

"Let consumers not wear clothes." Label It is mistaken that the product comes from the European Union. Consumer Purchased products originating in third countries. " A few days ago, the European Union member drafted a motion for "mandatory label of the country of origin" for clothing sold in Europe and won a high vote. "For Shishi, a large number of garment export enterprises, this is not good news." Shishi quality and technical supervision association responsible person said.

It is understood that compared with countries such as the United States, Canada and other countries that have strict regulations on the "made in" label, the European Union's original signature is only voluntary. There are 48 types of textile fibers (including 18 natural fibers and 30 man-made fibers) in the EU's single textile and clothing sales market, and the EU's existing textile label regulations apply only to these 48 categories. textile The name coordination and textile fiber label do not make mandatory provisions for the country of origin label. "Before, we usually label according to the requirements of foreign merchants, most of them are made in China". Mr. Li, vice president of marketing of a foreign trade company, said that apart from the label "made in China", they also labeled other EU countries. Before the EU's motion is passed, if it produces problems with clothing and calls for recall, the company will negotiate with the foreign merchants who are placing orders, and the latter will compensate most of them. "But after the bill has been promulgated, all risks will be passed on to us." Li added that the increase in barriers to European trade is undoubtedly a "plus" for Shishi, a garment company that has experienced a financial crisis and has been slowly recovering into the recovery stage.

"Shishi has garment exporting enterprises in Europe to work hard in marking inspection." Insiders said that since March 2009, when the AQSIQ issued a document to stop marking the inspection of export textiles and garments, the logo of export textiles and clothing was no longer included in the inspection and quarantine department's inspection items, but now, with the EU's "tagging the country of origin label" on the agenda and demanding that it be enforced in the future trade, including quality inspection departments and Shishi export enterprises must attach importance to labeling inspection again, "enterprises must attach great importance to enhancing labeling awareness and paying close attention to the progress of the EU's country of origin labeling system." Mr. Fang said that in addition, enterprises need to further improve their self inspection ability, strictly control the quality, and send them to the authorities for inspection before the export of clothing, so as to avoid being rejected because of the label labels that do not meet the requirements.
