The First Half Of China'S Textile And Clothing Technical Barriers To Trade Increased

The AQSIQ recently released the results of the 2009 survey of the impact of foreign technical trade measures on China's export enterprises. The results show that in 2009, 34.3% of the export enterprises were affected by foreign technical trade measures to varying degrees, resulting in a direct loss of US $57 billion 432 million in China's export trade, an increase of US $6 billion 890 million over 2008; the direct loss of export trade accounted for 4.78% of the total exports of the same period, an increase of 1.24 percentage points over that of 2008; the foreign technology trade measures increased the cost of export enterprises by 24 billion 625 million US dollars, an increase of 553 million US dollars over 2008. The survey results also showed that the technical trade measures affecting China's industrial exports were concentrated on 5 aspects: certification requirements, technical standard requirements, toxic and hazardous substances limit requirements, label and logo requirements, packaging and material requirements.

Technical Trade Increased barriers

In 2010, China's textile and clothing exports were constantly restricted by technical barriers to trade from major developed countries and economies. For example, the European Commission's non food quick warning system (RAPEX), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Canadian health department and other organizations frequently issued recall notice.

The main reason for the announcement of our spinning and clothing products is the risk of asphyxia (the length of the rope for children's tops and caps exceeds the standard), the chemical risk (two methyl fumarate detected), and the risk of injury (the waist length of children's clothing is over standard). A considerable proportion of these products have been withdrawn from the market voluntarily or passively, and the products have been recalled. The products that have not yet entered the market are directly refused to be imported by the customs.

China received various recall reports in the first half of this year.
