When Yizhuang Customs, a subsidiary of Beijing Customs, recently conducted a statutory inspection of a batch of "buyer" garments declared to be imported by a high-end retail department store importer, it found that the color fastness items of this batch of garments were unqualified. The batch of clothing includes 4 women's shirts, valued at US$1,380. According to relevant regulations, Yizhuang Customs has ordered the parties to return the shipment.

Zhang Xiao, deputy director of the Consumer Goods Inspection Division of the Commodity Inspection Department of Beijing Customs, who is in charge of this work, introduced that color fastness refers to the fact that dyed fabrics are subjected to external factors (extrusion, friction, washing, rain, exposure, light, etc.) during use or processing. , Seawater immersion, saliva immersion, water stains, sweat stains, etc.) The degree of fading under the action of is an important indicator of textiles. When the clothing color fastness items are unqualified, the dye will fade due to wearing and washing, and the shed dye molecules or heavy metal ions may be absorbed through the skin and endanger human health.

　　 It is understood that non-compliance with national standards for color fastness, pH value, formaldehyde, azo and other items has become the main reason for the unqualified imported clothing.

"While doing a good job in the supervision of imported clothing, we adhere to the combination of law enforcement and law popularization, strengthen the promotion of clothing standards in China, analyze the reasons for non-conformity, and trace the loopholes in the quality management of the company and quality traceability. Put forward suggestions for improvement." Xu Chi, Section Chief of the Second Inspection Section of Yizhuang Customs, introduced.

　　 Since the beginning of this year, Beijing Customs has strictly inspected imported consumer products for the people's livelihood, and has successively detected 16 batches of imported unqualified clothing, totaling 2,219 pieces, with a value of 162,700 US dollars. In the next step, under the unified deployment of the General Administration of Customs, Beijing Customs will actively explore and implement a system for accepting third-party inspection results of imported consumer products to promote the facilitation of cross-border trade.

　　 Customs reminded that “buyer shops” are becoming more and more popular, but “buyer shops” have a complex brand. Related clothing agents and importers must implement the main responsibility of corporate quality and safety, and imported consumer clothing products must comply with Chinese standards. Beijing Customs will continue to strictly control the quality of imported clothing products and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
