According to the latest data released by Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in 2012, Jiangsu imported 4187 batches of cotton and more than 146.2 tons of cotton, with a value of more than 3 billion 500 million US dollars.

The provincial inspection and quarantine department issued a total of 6609 foreign cotton claims certificates, the claims were less than a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_cj.asp" > /a > US $49 million 732 thousand, accounting for 1.42% of the total import value, which saved huge economic losses for the state and cotton enterprises.

< p > it is understood that Jiangsu imported cotton mainly from 30 countries and regions last year, including 33.2%, 26.6% and 14.8% of imports from the United States, India and Australia respectively.

Compared with the same period last year, imports of cotton batches increased by 94.3%, weight increased by 127.1%, and the value of goods increased by 101.1%.

However, in addition to the intensity, the conformity rate of grade, length and fineness of imported cotton decreased: the overall average rate of non conformity was 10.84%, the overall average rate of non conformity was 2.85%, and the overall average rate of fineness was 8%.

The problem of the short weight of imported cotton is also prominent, with more than 84% of the imported batches having a short weight problem. A total of 97 batches of cotton have a short weight rate of more than 3% and the highest short weight rate of 14.54%.

In the case of imported cotton, for example, in 2012, a total of 1004 claims were issued because of unqualified quality, and the claim amount was $4 million 778 thousand. 1259 claims were issued because of short weight, and the claim amount amounted to US $12 million 667 thousand.

The quality and weight of India cotton were even more prominent. In 2012, India cotton accounted for 24.5% of the total batches of the goods, 26.6% of the total weight and 24.3% of the total value, but the quality claims accounted for 37.4% of the total claims, and the weight claim amount was 34% of the total claim amount.

Last February, a Jiangsu Textile Co., Ltd. imported 3052 packages of nearly 500 tons of India cotton. After inspection, it found that the grade non conformity rate was 80.72%, and the strong non conformity rate was 42.48%. The import enterprises obtained more than 80 thousand USD compensation from the claim certificate issued by the inspection and quarantine department.

< p > Wu Hao, deputy director of the Textile Laboratory of Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau, told reporters that the main reasons for the decline in the quality of imported cotton were: first, the large quantities of imported cotton in China caused the tight supply of cotton in the international market, and some foreign cotton traders took advantage of the shoddy and short jin shortage of two.

Two, the import enterprises lack knowledge of the quality of cotton in various countries. The cotton contract determines the high index, resulting in the spot quality failing to meet the requirements and being judged unqualified.

The three is the decline of cotton in the main importing countries.

In the United States, India, Australia, Brazil and other major countries, cotton to the level of goods decreased compared with the previous year.

< p > inspection and quarantine departments remind Enterprises: our province's import cotton trade enterprises should enhance their self-protection awareness, and import contracts should be signed according to the terms of Sino spinning or the terms of China Cotton Association.

If a problem is found, it can be compensated by the claim certificate issued by the inspection and quarantine department to avoid economic losses. At the same time, the cotton importers with good reputation should be selected. In March 15, 2009, the AQSIQ formally implemented the registration management and quality credit rating management system for the imported cotton suppliers imported into mainland China, and the domestic enterprises could choose their trade according to the credit situation of the overseas cotton suppliers, issued by the AQSIQ, and reduce the cotton quality risk caused by traders' credit problems.

In addition, when importing cotton in large quantities, enterprises may apply to the inspection and quarantine department for inspection before shipment, and avoid the risk of import cotton weight and quality.
