Zhejiang Province Actively Deals With New Requirements For Footwear Export Protection

From the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of quality and technical supervision, Zhejiang footwear products exported 2 billion 30 million US dollars in the first quarter of this year.

But the European Union and the United States frequently use technical trade measures to impede exports of footwear products in Zhejiang.

In May 1st, the EU formally implemented the new six valent chromium regulation, which stipulates that the content of six valent chromium should not exceed 3mg/kg, otherwise it will not be put into the market.

Earlier, there was a shoe factory in Wenzhou because of six price chromium exceeded the standard, resulting in more than 10 thousand pairs of men's shoes were returned, the value of more than 100 thousand dollars.

Recently, the United States has issued a new regulation which requires that the content of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in consumer goods should not exceed 0.1%, which is higher than our current limit of less than 1%, while TDI is widely used in heel making.

The two new rules will have a greater impact on footwear exports in Zhejiang.

Zhejiang's technology trade measures should be dealt with in the future.

Environmental protection requirements for footwear are becoming increasingly stringent, and footwear export enterprises in Zhejiang should be highly valued.

At present, the center has not only made use of the "Zhejiang province's information service platform to deal with technical barriers to trade", but also improved this year.

The expert database of provincial technical trade measures, relying on experts' strength, has analyzed the potential impact of the US new regulation on the footwear industry in Zhejiang Province, issued relevant notification information to relevant enterprises, and improved the professionalism and timeliness of technical barriers to trade information notification and early warning.

And as early as 2013, it was aimed at

The standard of the six price chromium standard in China, the Zhejiang technology trade measures research and response center has issued a yellow warning to the footwear enterprises.

At the same time, the center also reminded footwear companies to increase environmental input and adopt more environmentally friendly raw materials to avoid harmful ingredients.

In addition, in view of the present situation that the national standards are lower than the foreign standards, we should guide the large footwear enterprises and trade associations in the province to set up high standard group standards, strive to integrate with international standards, and have the right to speak in the footwear industry.

In the past few years, because of the pressure drop of inventory pressure, but from the relevant reports of domestic and international sports brands, the volume of electricity supplier pactions, and the amount of consumer purchases, we know that this year's sports fashion trend is obvious, and sales are rising.

Xie Jiasheng believes that the more dimensions of index, the closer to the market.

"Factories and materials market are only suppliers. If we know the buyer's preferences from the buyer's market, for example, they are more casual, lifestyle sports shoes, or technology sense, pure sports shoes, I believe it will make the sports shoes index more meaningful."

Xie Jiasheng suggested that the relevant units in the process of collecting data, consider from the volume of consumer purchases, consumer purchase trends and other dimensions, understand their weight ratio, give the industry a clearer guidance.

In this way, the production and development of market segments will be very helpful.

In Lin Shuqi's view, this is an era of innovation. Technological innovation can make sports shoes sustainable development.

"At present, there is a similar development in the sports shoes market. Therefore, I suggest that the technology innovation module should be included in the index, which will play an important indicative role in the industry."

In addition to the recommendations of the index division, many entrepreneurs' friends also gave their own suggestions from the perspective of communication.

In addition to regular newspapers, magazines and websites, it can also be disseminated in conjunction with WeChat public numbers.
