Labels For Textiles Exported To Europe Must Be Marked With The Country Of Origin.

　　 European Union The new regulation requires that the label of textile products should be marked with the country of origin. If the product is packaged, it should be marked on the package; other commercial documents showing the origin of the product can not be used as a substitute for labels; at least two links in the manufacturing process of a textile spinning, weaving, finishing or sewing are considered as originating in the European Union countries; the textile labels must clearly indicate whether the non textile parts such as fur and leather originated from animals, such as products imported from third countries, should be mandatory with the original labels.

The European Union is our country. textile The largest export market. According to statistics, in 2011, China exported nearly 240 billion US dollars of all kinds of textiles, of which US $about 5000000000 was exported to the European Union. The implementation of the new EU regulations will not only increase the trade risk of China's textile exports, increase the difficulty of export, but also increase the production links, increase the burden on enterprises, and extend the clearance time of cargo ports.

Therefore, relevant government departments and enterprises should actively respond to the new EU textile regulations and adjust product labels in accordance with the new EU rules in order to avoid unnecessary economic losses.

This hidden "set up by the European Union" Trade barrier "It is likely to generate new trade frictions and create obstacles for China to strive for trade liberalization and normalization. As the difficulty of export increases, the export of European textiles may cause the export products to be notified abroad or even returned to the customs because of the absence or non-standard of origin labels.

In actual market sales, the implementation of the bill will also lead to a partial loss of consumers who focus on the origin of products. Some consumers who focus on "economic nationality" of products are likely to abandon the consumption of other countries' products under the impetus of the EU's advocacy of consumption of domestic products.

Although the EU's origin mark will bring a lot of impact on the textile trade in Europe, the textile exporters who are entangled in cotton prices, labor costs and power resources are not concerned about it.

In view of the new EU origin label system, the reporter interviewed several textile and garment import and export enterprises responsible persons, who generally expressed no understanding of the relevant circumstances. Zhang Junli, manager of Tianjin garments import and Export Co., Ltd. explains: "generally, we are processed according to orders, and foreign businessmen ask to label" MadeinChina "on the label, so we do. The information on changes in such export GB signs is usually communicated by customers. Zhang Junli said that at present, European customers have not raised relevant requirements, so the company's label printing on european garments is not much different from before.

In addition to the factors of passive access to information, export enterprises' doubts about policy implementation also lead to the lag of their information. "The trade policy of the United States and the European Union has changed repeatedly as a barometer, and after some regulations have been issued, the enterprises have not yet been able to implement them, or there are new regulations in the implementation process. Unless there are regular documents issued by the superior department, we usually pay less attention to this kind of information. " Jiangsu Wujiang textile company sales manager said.

However, whether the proposal will eventually be implemented, EU trade protectionism has been on the rise. According to the relevant personages, facing the adverse effects of EU origin label legislation, textile enterprises should take precautions against possible market risks and take precautions to remove obstacles to the smooth entry of export goods into the EU market.

Zhang Yu, Jiangsu Nantong entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, reminded relevant enterprises that they should take the initiative to deal with foreign technical regulations, such as country of origin marking, etc., and should communicate and coordinate with customers as soon as possible for products that are not in conformity with the laws of origin. New orders should be clearly identified in the contract and similar problems should be avoided to avoid losses.

It can be expected that in the future, " Country of origin label "This kind of new non-tariff trade barrier's rise, our country product export will meet the new challenge. However, as Feng Lei, an expert in the Institute of Finance and Trade Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, although the "origin label" may increase the difficulty and cost of exporting, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Chinese textile enterprises. In the face of EU standards' international competition pressure, textile enterprises are required to improve their competitiveness and adjust their product mix. Only in this way can Chinese textile enterprises become more stable internationally.
