The rate of unqualified clothing imported from the United States exceeds 10%.

In recent years, imports of clothing product quality and safety project failure rate remains high. Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine, experts said yesterday, imports of clothing from January 1, 2011 began to implement the law review, and as the main source of imports in 2015 failed textile and apparel products: Bangladesh, Italy, India, Turkey, China re-exports Import) and Indonesia, the United States.

US batch failure rate is the highest

It is reported that the imported garments for legal inspection include: infant clothing, children's clothing, sweaters, some adult woven garments (T-shirts, underwear, shirts, cotton or wool pants), etc. Today, the number of imported garments is increasing. The annual failure rate of sampling inspection of imported garments on the market organized by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine is as high as 20%.

Which countries have the most unqualified quality of imported garments? According to the staff of Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the number of imported garment batches in 2015 was the highest in Bangladesh, reaching 122 batches, accounting for 13.35% of the total unqualified batches, replacing Italy's top scorer in 2014; the second is Italy. 107 batches, accounting for 11.71%; third, India, 100 batches, accounting for 10.94%; fourth, Turkey, 99 batches, accounting for 10.83%; fifth, China (export re-import), accounting for 10.61%; sixth, Indonesia, It accounts for 7.44%. In addition, the quality and safety of imported garments in Korea, Vietnam, Portugal and Cambodia are also unsatisfactory.

However, from another dimension, that is, from the batch failure rate, the most serious country is still the same as 2014, the failure rate is as high as 10.28%, followed by South Korea, China (export re-import) and Italy. , 7.55%, 5.17%, and 4.93%, respectively.

Foreign clothing is also easy to "not admire"

In the minds of traditional people, the quality of imported clothing should be “leverage”. What is the reason for the failure?

Inspection and quarantine experts analyzed that the main reasons for the unqualified imported textile and apparel products in 2015 were: color fastness, unqualified pH value and excessive formaldehyde content, which together accounted for 79.5%. Other unqualified reasons include incorrect or missing safety labeling labels, disintegration of decomposable aromatic amine dyes, and unqualified fiber content, accounting for the remaining 20.5%.

Among them, the most unqualified items are: color fastness, unqualified pH value, and excessive formaldehyde content. The main reasons are analyzed. First, the standard requirements are different. Many foreign countries, including Europe and the United States, have no requirements for pH. The requirements for color fastness are measured as physical indicators, and China has measured these two as safety and health indicators.

Second, production is difficult to meet the requirements of the index. Chinese people like colorful clothing, while the natural color fastness of natural fibers such as cotton, silk, and hair is difficult to meet grades 3-4 and 4.

Other Southeast Asian countries have failed to save costs. For example, in some Southeast Asian countries, fabric pretreatment may not be in place, shrinkage after dyeing and finishing, dyeing temperature reduction, insufficient dyeing time, etc., in order to reduce the dyeing cost, resulting in color fastness and pH unqualified.

As for countries like the United States and Italy, in order to meet the stringent environmental protection and energy consumption requirements of the localities, fabric manufacturers are likely to reduce the amount of finished fabrics in order to reduce emissions, reduce costs, and reduce water treatment processes or water flow. Color, resulting in unsatisfactory color fastness and excessive formaldehyde.

How to deal with unqualified clothing?

Safety and health project failed

Direct return or destruction

How does the inspection and quarantine department handle unqualified imported garments? The staff of the Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that there are two main methods: for products with unqualified Chinese labels and fiber content, they can be imported after rectification. If the safety and hygiene items fail (such as color fastness, pH value, formaldehyde content, AZO), the products are returned or destroyed.

In mid-September last year, a company in Kunshan imported 93 boxes of men's knitted T-shirts with a value of 270,000 yuan. When the Kunshan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau sampled and tested, it found that its formaldehyde content reached 78 mg per kilogram, which exceeded the national standard and was returned. This year, the Shanghai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau concentrated on the disposal of more than 123,000 unqualified imported garments, weighing about 3.8 tons, including BOSS, VERSACE JEANS and other well-known brands.
