Chinese Footwear Industry Should Be Vigilant Against Shoe Manufacturers.

In February 6th, a Chinese shoe wholesale shop in downtown Valencia, Spain, was raided by local police. The inspection focused on the chemical composition of desiccant. According to sources, including Valencia warehouse area and several urban footwear wholesale and retail stores were also large-scale inspections, a large number of domestic shoe products were seized security inspection. Police said the shoe products seized in the inspection will be returned to the owners after the security check. About 11 a.m. that day, a Chinese shoe wholesale shop in downtown Valencia was raided by police. Three police cars were parked on both sides of the intersection. About 4 or 5 local policemen arrived in the shop wearing uniforms. After entering the door, police officers began to carefully inspect the shoes on the shelves and in the warehouse, and the time was more than 2 hours. Then the police took away the suspected shoes products in the shop and said they would conduct further tests. Witnesses at the scene revealed that at the same time when the police arrived at the scene, the local TV reporters in Valencia also came to the scene and made detailed reports on the police's inspection. It is said that the police's inspection is not as strong as it used to be, and it gave the police a reply to the "security check", but it did not mean that it was forced to be seized and destroyed. A reporter interviewed a Chinese businessman who was inspected. The Chinese businessman was very dissatisfied with the police's actions. He said: "the economy is in recession, the police are also getting tighter and tighter. Holidays are not allowed to open doors. This has caused a lot of losses to the shops, and the risk of being open to business is fined more than 6000 euros. The more the cumulative number, the more the penalty is up to 600 thousand euros. Now even the shoes need to be checked. It is simply adding insult to injury. Shoe products have been imported for so many years, desiccant has always been the same specifications, manufacturing components have not changed. In the past, the police would not manage these things, but now they always find a problem and do it strictly and severely. A series of new laws and regulations, the fine system makes our life in Spain even more difficult. In the future, it will be uncertain which industries will be checked out. According to the reporter's investigation, the wholesale and retailer retailers who have recently been examined by the police are in the minority. Because of the problem of some desiccant ingredients used in domestic footwear, there have been skin allergies among foreign customers after buying shoes, which has attracted the attention of the police. At present, the police's extensive shoe product inspection is still in progress. Chinese footwear wholesaling and retailing businesses should be vigilant and deal with their own goods early so as to avoid being seized by the police. Wang Xiaonan: editor in charge
