"Prohibition" Is Frequent And Difficult For Exporters To Enter.

In the first half of this year, the export volume of China's textile industry dropped by 5.4% compared to the same period last year.

In key overseas markets, China's exports to the US market increased by 6.8% in the 1~6 months of this year, while exports to Japan and Hongkong, China, fell by 13.2% and 24.9% compared to the same period last year, and exports to the EU decreased by 9.9% over the same period last year.

Although the US market growth has risen, it is still difficult to balance the decline of Japan, Hongkong and the European Union.

Textile industry exports downward trend is obvious, as a pillar industry in Yiwu textile industry, related exporters have been affected.

Foreign "ban" frequent, China's textile export standards have been raised again and again, the trade environment is deteriorating.

According to China Export and Credit Insurance Corp (hereinafter referred to as China's credit insurance) statistics, in recent years, trade barriers against China's textile industry exports are increasing year by year. The trade protection measures represented by "double reverse" are frequently used, which constitute the main external force for China's textile industry's export growth.

Judging from the statistical results, since 2014, India, Argentina, Peru and Brazil have violated the trade protectionism against China's textile industry, and Pakistan, EU, Indonesia, Turkey, Columbia, Egypt and other countries have joined the ranks.

According to China's credit insurance statistics, this year 1~8 months, the textile industry underwriting risk mainly concentrated in Russia, the United States, Turkey, Canada, Yemen and other countries.

Among them, the United States as the industry's largest export country market, underwriting risk is higher than the global level.

China's trust insurance expects that this year's textile export difficulties will be less likely to improve.

"A European customer has ordered a Oxford cloth and needs to meet the European standard requirements. What is it?

"Last week, Wu Dandan, who had just set foot in the foreign trade circle for a long time, was browsing the foreign trade forum. She was also puzzled about the questions raised by a colleague.

A few days ago, she found out that the European Union had issued a new regulation, that is, the NPE ban issued by the EU just passed.

The main content of the ban is the prohibition of the use of NPE (nonylphenol ethoxylates) in textiles. The ban came into effect in August.

According to this ban,

When the concentration of NPE is greater than or equal to 0.01% (100ppm), it will be prohibited from entering the EU market after the pition period.

It is understood that NPE is a nonionic surfactant, formed by condensation reaction of nonylphenol with ethylene oxide.

As the world's recognized environmental hormone, NPE in textiles can be washed with consumers for first, second times to wash into the water environment and decompose more toxic NP (Ren Jifen) and other ingredients. These substances will accumulate in fish, affect their breeding and growth, and enlarge the food chain by stages, thereby affecting human health.

The ban has for the first time set a clear limit on the NPE content of textiles.

It is restricted to prohibit the use of NPE in textile production.

For example, the European Union REACH (registration, assessment, authorization and restriction of chemicals) forty-sixth provision under the annex XVII: prohibit the product with NPE concentration greater than or equal to 0.1% for textile processing.

"Recently, Turkey has also updated the labeling standards for textile products and the requirements for fiber components."

Wu Dandan said, according to her understanding, compared to before, this time mainly aims at the label requirements of animal materials, such as pearls, leather, leather necks or lace, feather ornaments, which may be contained in textile products.

This new regulation will come into effect next year, that is to say, textile products exported to Turkey after January 1, 2016 must meet this requirement.
