The global leather demand is about 100 million square meters, equivalent to 300 million cowhide (standard leather) output. China's leather output is equivalent to nearly 10000 sheets of leather, accounting for 23.33% of the world's leather output. In the increasingly competitive market environment, it is not easy for China's leather industry to achieve such a success. It also proves the vitality and strength of China's leather industry. As one of the market of Chinese leather enterprises, the draft that has recently come into effect is undoubtedly a head-on blow, making Chinese enterprises in a fierce competition environment more difficult. 
 "WTO inspection and quarantine information network" reported recently that in December 21, 2013, the amendment of the "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "Leather Product Safety Quality Labeling Act" /a came into effect. The revision contained a lot of contents, which restricted the wide range of substances and the limited value. All of them posed a great challenge to the domestic leather manufacturing industry. 
 1. In terms of chemical substances, 10 kinds of restricted substances have been added: formaldehyde, fumaric acid two methyl ester, pentachlorophenol, chromium, aromatic amine, 6 kinds of o-benzoic acid two formic acid, organotin (DBT and TBT), lead, cadmium and nickel. According to the leather products and human body's fitting degree, the above substances are made from 0.1 to 300mg/kg in the infant leather products, children's leather products, underwear, clothes interlayer, coat, bedding and other leather products, of which the two limit of fumaric acid two methyl ester is the lowest in infant leather products, 0.1mg/kg. 
 two, in terms of physical properties, new requirements for small and medium-sized components of infant leather products, rope and rope requirements for baby and children leather products, and magnet requirements are added. 
 three, on labels, new warnings for widgets in infant leather products have been added, and shoe size labels must comply with KSMISO9407. 
 four, other amendments include the division of artificial leather into coated leather, laminated leather, composite leather, synthetic leather, and new additions or modifications to certain terms. 
 leather products, as high-risk and high-risk products, have been plagued by chemical residues and have been frequently recalled overseas. Take the European Union's non food consumer goods quick warning system and the US CPSC withholding Chinese product data as an example. In 2013, only 38 cases were reported in the EU and the United States in China, and most of the products outside the door were products with low technical content and low added value, mainly for women's shoes, protective boots, leather gloves and baby shoes in 4 main categories. 
 in recent years, China's "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "tannery industry < /a > strong export rise, the scale of production has expanded rapidly, and foreign exchange earning has leapt to the top of light industry products. Leather products in Ningbo have also entered a track of steady growth. The export of fur, leather, leather furniture, toys, shoes and hats, fur clothing and gloves is more than 50 million dollars a year. The special products include leather chairs, mink skin clothes, children's fur pants, and cowboy shoes. At the same time, China's leather industry has also been severely blocked by internal and external factors such as rising export costs, expanding middle and low end industries, and economic depression. Inspection and quarantine experts pointed out that enterprises with weak technological strength will be more constrained by technical barriers to trade. The majority of enterprises should turn external pressure into internal driving force: on the one hand, we should improve the raw materials and formulations of leather products from the source of production, actively improve the environmental protection performance and ecological safety standards of products, strengthen the monitoring of chemical substance projects, and ensure that every process from raw materials to finished products meets the requirements of quality and safety. On the other hand, efforts should be made to raise the level of production equipment and establish a green brand awareness, so as to speed up technological innovation and increase the added value of products as a magic weapon for winning the export, and further seize the opportunity to expand the living space. 
 in recent years, compared with the direct "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "double anti /a > survey, technical barriers to trade have become an important factor affecting the export of light industry in China. In some countries, restrictive instructions are directed against chemicals harmful to the human body and the environment in leather and leather products. In order to avoid the risk of compensation for the negative effects of certain chemicals on human health, international distributors impose strict limits on the import of leather products from developing countries. These have become the technical barriers to trade in China's leather products entering the international market. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost of new testing and certification has a great impact on export profits. 
Besides P, the experts also pointed out that the leather industry will depend on foreign trade. It is reported that the main problems of China's leather industry are high degree of dependence on foreign trade, rising cost and exchange rate. To this end, China's leather industry should be innovating and developing, strengthening technological research and development, cultivating independent brands, and improving its ability to cope with international risks. On the other hand, we should vigorously develop the domestic consumer market and seize the opportunities such as "the continuous growth of consumer demand, the quickening adjustment of demand structure" and "accelerating the upgrading of consumption structure and accelerating the change of population structure" in the future, both internal and external, so as to remain invincible in the future development.
