Attention Shishi textile and apparel companies that place orders from the United States. Although China’s textile exports will no longer be subject to quota restrictions from January 1, 2009, the United States may adopt trade rescue measures or technical barriers to set up obstacles for Chinese companies’ exports. . Relevant functional departments stated that Shishi enterprises should actively respond to the situation, adjust their import and export strategies in a timely manner, and prevent various risks.
In November 2008, China’s apparel exports to the United States accounted for 54% of the U.S. apparel import market, accounting for more than 50% for the first time. Starting from January 1, 2009, China will no longer implement the quantity and license management of textile exports to the United States and the management of textile export licenses to the EU. This means that from 2009, China’s textile exports will no longer be subject to quota restrictions. As China’s quotas are about to end, Chinese apparel exports to the United States are expected to maintain continued growth momentum.
It has been observed that in order to prevent the rapid growth of China’s textile exports, the United States may adopt trade rescue measures or technical barriers to set up obstacles to Chinese enterprises’ exports. There are already signs of this. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) recently announced that it will release a statistical report on China’s textile and clothing imports every two weeks starting from December 1, 2008, and monitor the quantity of related Chinese products.

The inspection and quarantine department believes that Shishi textile and garment export companies need to change their concepts, rationally adjust their production structure and import and export strategies, maintain timely communication with importers, and properly plan their 2009 export plans to avoid blind expansion of production capacity and the threshold for exporting textiles to the United States. Increase resulting in product backlog. At the same time, Shishi enterprises should also actively explore domestic and international markets to avoid and reduce export risks.
