Why exported textiles have become the “hardest hit area” for returned shipments

In recent times, there has been a significant increase in the number of companies going to Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for export inspection to Sudan. “This is closely related to the implementation of new standards for imported products in Sudan starting in July.” Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau Textile City On-site Office The person in charge said that starting from July 1, Sudan will implement new standards for imported products, and products that do not meet Sudanese standards will be returned, which will have a considerable impact on Keqiao export companies.
A few days ago, reporters learned from the Shaoxing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that from January to May this year, Shaoxing’s exported industrial products encountered 122 batches of returns, with a value of US$7.7511 million, an increase of 17.31% and 22.06% respectively compared with the same period in 2014. Among them, textile batches accounted for 40% of the total returned batches, becoming the “hardest hit area” for export returns.
“Among the batches of textile returns, companies from Keqiao District account for the majority.” Relevant staff from the bureau reminded that relevant companies should attach great importance to this. At the beginning of this year, the goods exported by two companies in Keqiao District were returned because they did not apply for pre-shipment inspection certificates domestically and did not meet Sudan’s import requirements, causing considerable losses.
Analyzing the reasons for export returns in the first five months, quality problems accounted for the absolute majority. In the first five months, more than 90% of the returns of exported industrial products in Shaoxing were due to quality problems, with the proportions of batch and value being as high as 92.62% and 98.56% respectively.
“When export goods are returned, production companies often have to bear the costs of cargo transportation, customs clearance, port detention, repairs, etc. The total losses are considerable.” Relevant staff of the Shaoxing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that in the face of more and more cases, Regarding international technical trade barriers, export enterprises cannot only consider price but ignore product quality. They should actively move closer to international standards, strengthen information collection, and carefully study the standards of developed countries. In addition, attention must be paid to the control of the entire process of product export to ensure the quality and safety of the entire chain from factory to delivery, and to avoid product damage during storage and transportation. At the same time, we can fully rely on the technical functional advantages of the inspection and quarantine department to minimize export risks as trade barriers are rising around the world.
