Old Clothes Run A Mess Of "Ocean Garbage"
Old clothing abroad is a kind of solid waste which is banned in China. However, there are no relevant laws in the country that prohibit the management of old clothing.
In some cities' markets, there are some "foreign garbage" under the banner of "foreign trade tail cargo".
clothing
It has become a hot commodity in the eyes of some consumers.
Because of the strong demand, the difficulty of blocking the chain of smuggling, the lack of law enforcement basis for cleaning up the market, and the fact that the local umbrella has not been eliminated, the grey industrial chain has been hard to forbid for many years.
1 direct attack: Division of labor and meticulous "foreign garbage" clothing market
There are some humble clothing shops in the Zhu Zi Lane Community in Nanchang, Jiangxi. The price of the so-called "foreign trade" clothing can be as low as 10 yuan per piece, and there is a complete variety of goods.
The reporter disguised himself as a customer and walked into such a clothing store. A musty smell came to his face, and a pile of clothes was scattered on the floor.
Reporters found that the main customers of these shops are middle-aged women. They even know that they are buying old clothes from abroad, but they do not mind that they are not cleaned or sterilized. Some people have patronized their customers for more than ten years.
Most of the shopkeepers do not shy away from the source of the goods.

They were picked up in one or two days. "
In the Kwun Tong market in Nanning, Guangxi, the reporters also found several old clothing shops: the stale clothes were stacked on the ground and stuffed in sacks, usually with only one piece, with obvious fading and pilling marks and even stains.
Although the shopkeeper claims that these garments are "foreign trade tail goods", all kinds of characteristics indicate that they are "foreign garbage" clothes.
Jieshi Town, the southern part of Lufeng City, Guangdong Province, is the largest "foreign garbage" clothing distribution center in our country.
The coastal town is only 115 kilometers away from Hongkong's sea.
The economic foundation of Jieshi town is weak, processing and selling old clothing has little start-up capital, low technical requirements, and stable demand. Therefore, a large number of idle labor force in this area has become a "famous" professional market.
According to a survey conducted by the Shanwei customs anti smuggling Bureau, in this town with only 260 thousand people, there are more than 10000 people engaged in "foreign garbage" clothing business.
2 Analysis: why is it hard to ban high-pressure crackdowns?
According to a press survey, overseas clothing flows into China's market can be roughly divided into smuggling, entry, pshipment, processing and sales.
In recent years, under the continuous high-pressure strike of law enforcement departments, the smuggling and pportation routes of "foreign garbage" clothing are more changeable. Apart from the traditional direct shipping to the Jieshi town of Lufeng, Guangdong, there are also p regional lines such as "Vietnam Dongxing Guangzhou Lufeng", "Hongkong Shenzhen (Huizhou) Lufeng", "Vietnam Fujian Fujian" and so on. The chain is long, the evidence chain is difficult to close, and it is difficult to investigate and deal with.
According to the director of the local anti smuggling department in Lufeng, a large number of "foreign garbage" clothes do not enter the country, so the law enforcement departments can only investigate and deal with them in the land passageway, but they can only catch the drivers.
According to the public information published by the "China referee network", reporters from 2013 to the beginning of this year, 3 persons who were sentenced to death in Lufeng for illegal disposal of "foreign garbage" were all truck drivers or motorcycle drivers.
Lack of law enforcement in circulation is another difficulty in blocking foreign garbage clothing.
Unlike other types of solid waste, old clothing imported from abroad will not be used to refine raw materials or recycle, but will directly enter the circulation and sale process, which will not pose a significant threat to the environment and the health of the masses.
China's existing laws and regulations do not explicitly prohibit the operation of second-hand clothing. Once the illegal entry of "foreign garbage" into old clothing, the cleaning of these old clothing markets is often short of law enforcement and deterrence.
Lufeng, Nanchang and other industrial and commercial departments introduced that at present, the cleaning of the old clothing market can only be applied to the relevant laws and regulations of industrial and commercial administration or city management. The main penalties are unlicensed or illegal construction, and penalties are mostly for goods or fines.
At the same time, it is due to these three in one.
store
Most of them are local dwellings, and the law enforcement departments have no legal support for sealing up or rashly going to households.
Similar law enforcement predicament exists everywhere in the old clothing retail market.
An old clothing operator in Jieshi town told reporters that the rent of a "three in one" store is about twenty thousand yuan a year. "A shop can earn more than ten million yuan a year".
On the one hand, the deterrent power of administrative punishment is insufficient, and on the other hand, the temptation of high economic benefits leads to the fact that these "foreign garbage" old clothing stores are always difficult to be rooted out.
3 recommendations: focus on "plugging the source".
According to the statistics of Shanwei customs, only one shop in Jieshi town has more than 2000 stores operating old clothes.
According to data from Lufeng's anti smuggling and industrial and commercial departments, from the beginning of 2013 to the end of 2014, the local government cleaned up the "three in one" store nearly 2000 times, dismantling 158 rooms and 13 warehouses in the shed, and accumulatively collected more than 4500 tons of old clothes.
According to the customs staff and the masses, there is still a "protective umbrella" in the chain of illegal operation of old clothing. Its repeated prohibition is also related to the unsteadfast attitude, unsteadfast stance and ineffective measures.
Customs and other departments responsible for the proposal to investigate illegal
Management
In the case of old clothing cases, we should further dig into the criminal activities such as power and money pactions, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.
Lufeng's smuggling office said that since 2013, 4 city level cadres have been removed from their duties for failing to combat outworn clothing, including the former Secretary and mayor of Jieshi town.
Many grass-roots cadres in Lufeng say frankly that illegal processing and operation of old clothing involve a wide range of participants, and some participants are weak in the rule of law. They are more difficult to fight and have higher costs.
In addition to improving relevant laws and regulations, strengthening inter provincial linkage improvement, establishing a long-term mechanism for comprehensive governance, and purifying the environment for economic and social development, we need to actively guide local people to switch production and jobs.
The local government can only find new economic growth points as soon as possible and create enough employment opportunities for the public. This gray industrial chain that has existed for many years can really be cut off.
The chief executive of the Lufeng municipal Party committee and the municipal government said that we should continue to carry out iron fist regulation, and find a case of illegal operation and processing of old clothing and "umbrella".
