In recent years, Europe, America, Japan and so on.

Textiles and garments

It is an indisputable fact that importing countries have repeatedly set high limits on exports of products from developing countries.

Among the many tariff policies and technical regulations, the relevant provisions on origin identification are the most "implicit" and the most directive.

Since this year, Italy and Saudi customs have issued mandatory regulations on the origin of textile, footwear and leather products.

In recent days, the EU has also planned to develop a label system for the country of origin of garments.

After the baptism of the financial crisis, the textile industry has been protected.

Domestic industry

Interest, frequent moves.

This form of trade protection will not only close the door to some developing countries which are mainly processing trade, but also become the hidden worry of their products occupying the quota of importing countries passively.

New excuse for trade protectors

With the development of trade liberalization, tariff as a measure to protect trade is gradually weakening.

In order to make up for the inadequacy of tariff functions, the major importers of textile products have adopted protective measures with greater concealment, lower pparency, and less supervision and prediction over the years.

As a "grey" policy tool, rules of origin are favored by these importing countries.

More than a month ago, "

Made in Italy

The rules and regulations for origin identification were finally approved by the Senate and will be formally implemented on October 1st this year.

The regulations will impose mandatory labels on the sales of textile, footwear and leather products. The regulations mentioned that labels of various products must identify the origin of products, indicate the instructions for use, and comply with the processing procedures, hygienic standards and safety and reliability of products.

At the same time, enterprises violating the regulation will be fined 50 thousand ~7 euros, and enterprises with repeated violations will be fined for 3 years.

Compared with maintaining market order and safeguarding consumers' rights and interests, protecting the interests of domestic industries may be the fundamental purpose of adopting this measure.

As early as last year, when the Italy house of Representatives drew up the bill, Adolfo Urso, Vice Minister of economic development of the country, said that the bill would serve as a banner to help create a truly "Italy made" product image.

Most members of the house of Representatives believe that the passage of the bill will be very good for the country's industrial recovery, and it can provide about 1 million jobs for Italy.

More than Italy is keen on this new means of trade protection.

Recently, it is also reported that the EU intends to enforce the label system of clothing country of origin so as to prevent consumers from buying products from third countries originating outside the EU without knowing it.

It is understood that the EU's current country of origin label is voluntary, and the use and labeling of labels are different according to the national laws of different countries. After the mandatory implementation of the label system of clothing country of origin, the contents of the existing labels containing only the names of textile fibers should be supplemented.
