Children's clothing export hidden dangers more quarantine Bureau friendship remind

In recent years, the export of children's apparel products has increased year by year. According to statistics, in January 2011, the inspection and quarantine bureau of Jiangyin received 1104 batches of children's clothing export inspections in the region, with a total value of 32 million US dollars. The Jiangyin Inspection and Quarantine Bureau focused on strengthening the monitoring of the safety and hygiene items of raw and auxiliary materials, children's clothing straps and small parts around the export of children's clothes. During the inspection, 12 batches of products were found to have quality and safety hazards.

According to the inspection personnel of the Bureau, most of the foreign trade production enterprises have noticeably improved their quality and risk awareness. In the design and production of garments, they can pay attention to the safety and technical regulations of the importing countries or regions. However, there are still individual enterprises that do not have awareness of risk, such as January. In the middle of the inspection of a batch of export cotton knit boy T-shirts, the T-shirt found that there was a drawstring with a length of 20 cm exposed on the T-shirt hat, which violated the European Union's regulations on the use of cap ropes for young children. , without the necessary design review, blindly in accordance with the importer's request for production, in fact, some foreign businessmen are not familiar with the domestic technical regulations, if the batch of products without hastening to export, will face the risk of return.

In this regard, the inspection and quarantine department reminded relevant foreign trade companies that with the continuous improvement of children's clothing related technical regulations in various countries, children's wear has become a high-risk export product, and it is not uncommon for Chinese products to encounter returns from importing countries. Production enterprises should further strengthen the awareness of product export risk, strengthen the quality control of raw materials, familiar with the safety technical specifications of importing countries, fully evaluate the rationality of product design, and actively avoid potential trade risks.
