Lesotho Has Become A Major Textile Producer In Africa And Is Valued By China.

The preferential trade policy of the United States has made Lesotho a major textile producer in Africa.

Most of Lesotho's textile industry comes from China.

Ms. Chen from China founded a textile enterprise in Maseru, capital of Lesotho, with 500 employees.

In the past 25 years, the Chinese textile enterprises in Lesotho have developed from 7 to 52.

The textile industry has also promoted the local economic development and become the leading role of Lesotho's exports.

Life is not easy for textile workers in Lesotho.

They work 9 hours a day, and sometimes work overtime. The monthly salary is only about 90 Swiss francs (1 Swiss francs plus 6.5 yuan), and there are not many benefits.

Nevertheless, they seem to be right.

I am proud of my work.

Lesotho is a mountain country surrounded by South Africa. The economy depends to a large extent on trade preferences, especially the "African opportunity development program".

The textile industry has offered preferential quotas and tax free channels.

Lesotho has also become one of the most concentrated areas of Chinese immigrants in African countries.

However, the relationship between the Chinese and the locals is not always harmonious, and there have been attacks on Chinese people.

Marlay sang, a textile workers union, says people are not used to getting rich quickly.

However, in recent years, the Chinese have taken the initiative to do in Rome as the Romans do, and even learn the local ones.

Businessmen from Yiwu producing footwear and textile products should pay attention to it. From the Yiwu inspection and Quarantine Bureau, they know that Egypt has recently issued new regulations on import and export cargo supervision, and has formulated different customs clearance rules for two categories of products.

The first type of products are footwear, leather bags, garments, home textiles, carpets and ground coverings. The second products are intermediate products such as natural leather, artificial leather, footwear and accessories, textiles and dyed yarns.

According to the new regulation, there are three kinds of customs clearance for the first kind of products:

One is based on the Egyptian import and export commodity inspection and supervision law, and the producer must register with the Egyptian import and Export Control Association (GOEIC).

Two, the goods must be accompanied by the approved inspection and inspection certificate, including shipment data, inspection and test results, etc., which should comply with the Egyptian accreditation standard.

Three, the inspection and examination certificate can be issued by an Egyptian inspection agency or a foreign agency, but the agency must be approved by the Ministry of foreign trade of Egypt, and has a standardized laboratory approved by the Ministry and has the testing capacity of the relevant products. GOEIC will conduct random checks on imported goods.

The second category of products can be released according to the implementation of the relevant regulations on import and export of Egyptian goods, but the relevant inspection fees must be paid.
