Proposal to ban online trading of foreign garbage clothing

In recent years, China's online shopping market continues to develop rapidly, especially clothing and apparel products favored by online shopping consumers. In 2009, the volume of pactions accounted for 12.8% of online shopping pactions, and it is estimated that the scale of pactions will exceed 30 billion yuan in 2010.

However, while the online shopping market is developing vigorously, there are illegal operators using the concealment of network sales and asymmetric information of products. The online sale of "foreign garbage" clothing imported from smuggling channels seriously threatens consumers' health and disrupts the order of online shopping market in China.

In order to block the circulation channels of "foreign garbage" clothing network, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and promote the sustained and healthy development of China's online shopping market, China Apparel Association, China Electronic Commerce Association and Taobao jointly launched initiatives to the national apparel operators, consumers and online trading platforms.

First, consciously regulate business practices.

Strictly abide by the laws, regulations and regulations, fully understand the harmfulness of "foreign garbage" clothing, and consciously resist the "foreign garbage" clothing trade.

We should strengthen the internal management of enterprises, establish and improve the self-discipline mechanism, implement responsibilities to specific personnel, ensure that they do not smuggle, purchase, process and sell "foreign garbage" clothes, and do not deception to publish "foreign garbage" clothing commodity information on Internet sites, creating a good environment for our online shopping market to create integrity, safety and convenience.

Two, actively assume social responsibilities.

Adhere to the industry ethics, safeguard the image of the industry, consciously accept social supervision, and actively publicize the laws and regulations of the state to prohibit the import and circulation of "foreign garbage" clothing.

While consciously resisting the "foreign garbage" clothing, we fully cooperate with the relevant government departments to crack down on the measures and actions of "foreign garbage" clothing management, and actively report and stop illegal activities in the operation of "foreign garbage" clothing, so as to contribute to the formation of effective social forces to prevent "foreign garbage" clothing network circulation.

Three, give full play to the role of platform supervision.

We should improve the management system and technical means of online trading platform, enhance the sense of responsibility for supervising the operation of online shops, and comprehensively examine and check clothing and clothing commodity information, and explicitly require operators to prohibit the "foreign garbage" clothing trade, and to curb the breeding and dissemination of illegal acts.

Timely acceptance and proper disposal of consumer complaints about "foreign garbage" clothing, focusing on monitoring the complaints of operators, after checking, take measures in accordance with the law and report to the relevant government departments.

Four, constantly enhance awareness of rights protection

The vast number of consumers should be highly vigilant against "foreign garbage" clothing, constantly enhance their awareness of safeguarding their rights, take the initiative to understand the hazards and identification methods of "foreign garbage" clothing, and require operators to produce certificates, invoices and prevent illegal businesses from selling "foreign garbage" clothing in the name of "super low price", "foreign trade tail cargo" and "export to domestic sales".

When the legitimate rights and interests are infringed, timely report complaints to the online trading platform and relevant government departments, and pay attention to the preservation and provision of valid credentials.

We hope that, with the joint participation and efforts of all sectors of society, we will completely prohibit the "Internet trade of foreign garbage" garments, form a long-term mechanism for combining prevention and control with a combination of symptoms and symptoms, standardize the business activities of the main bodies of the market, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, flourish the Internet market, expand the consumption of residents, and make greater contributions to the sound and rapid development of our economy and society.
