Garment Raw Materials Export Standards Further Improve

"In recent years, Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt and other emerging market countries have launched a series of anti-dumping investigations on textile products such as yarns, short staple fabrics and garments, and trade restrictions have been continuously introduced. This has seriously affected the pace of developing new markets for Chinese textile enterprises."

The head of a textile and garment export enterprise in Ningbo said.

The reporter has learned that in the case of Peru, an emerging market country, there are more than 180 million garments exported to Peru every year. However, since December last year, the Peru fair competition and intellectual property protection bureau began to impose 0.14 anti-dumping duties on 0.14 categories of Chinese textile products, including 5 shirts and 34 categories of textile and garment products, accounting for 51% of China's total exports to Peru.

According to the conservative forecast of official data in Peru, the annual additional tariffs for Chinese enterprises to Peru will exceed US $25 million.

In addition, the 2014 edition of the International Environmental Protection Textile Association's eco environmental textiles testing standards and limit values came into effect in April 2014.

The new standard is more stringent for the content of perfluorooctanoic acid, nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates, such as the limit of nonylphenol and octyl phenol dropped from 50 mg / kg in 2013 to 10 mg / kg.

According to statistics, now domestic nonylphenol is up to 47 thousand tons each year for washing, printing and dyeing of washing industry and textile and garment, and the use of environment-friendly additives will not only lead to increased costs, but also require a large number of processes and upgrading into equipment, which is difficult to popularize in the short term.

The European Union's requirements for the use of pentachlorophenol and biological insecticides make the management extend to the links of textile raw materials and products storage and pportation. The pressure of small and micro enterprises without mature quality management system is enormous.

How can we improve?

The quality of the products has reached the international safety standard. In this regard, insiders said that China's textile export enterprises should strictly carry out product safety standards learning.

And production departments should design and produce according to the product safety standards. Children's clothing and other commodities should be strictly prevented from pulling the rope.

Potential safety hazard.

At the same time, enterprises should strictly control and control the raw materials and excipients, and accelerate the application research of environmental friendly raw materials, reduce and eliminate the use of toxic and harmful substances, constantly improve the production process, and improve the quality of products.

According to media reports, in November 14th, the European Commission's non food quick warning system (RAPEX) issued a consumer warning to China's "AOLES" brand children's jacket.

The country of notification in this case is Hungary.

The hat has a zipper and a long rope with adjustable size.

The size of the children's jacket is 152 centimeters.

The style / model of the children's jacket is YF9277.

The above products belong to 67000000 (clothing) in the organization for classification of economic cooperation and development (OECDPortalCategory).

These children's jackets are easy to suffocate to children. The zippers and long strings of caps are easy to hold children's neck.

The product does not meet the European standard EN14682.

At present, the Hungarian authorities have taken compulsory measures to withdraw the market and recall the above products.

Because of the particularity of the objects used by children's clothing, security issues have become the focus of attention of the major trading countries.

According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, the European Union, the United States and Canada have reported 174 unqualified textile and garment products in China, 166 children's clothing alone, accounting for 95.4% of the total notification. Among them, children's clothing has become the main object of the notification because of the safety risks of strangulation and suffocation due to the existence of rope, as well as the risk of small parts such as clothing accessories.

In the first 9 months of this year, WTO members issued 45 TBT bulletin about textiles and clothing, an increase of 28.5% over the same period last year. The safety requirements of developing countries for textiles, including children's clothing, have been gradually integrated with developed countries and should be more difficult.
