Recently, some media reported that Zhejiang's commerce and Industry Department announced recently that they seized a number of imported garments, including some famous luxury brands, and found that there were such problems as formaldehyde content exceeding the standard or pH value exceeding the standard.

Is the Ministry of Commerce aware of this situation, has it done any national statistics?

According to their statistics, 60% of the clothing products are unqualified. Is there any comment on the result of the Ministry of Commerce?

Thank you.

In response, Yao Jian, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said at a press conference held today that the issue of quality of foreign trade products has always been a matter of great concern to the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of quality supervision and quarantine and the General Administration of customs.

It should be said that the Customs has the corresponding system standard in the protection of intellectual property rights, the quality and safety of imported products and the quality inspection and Quarantine Bureau's import and export products.

In the past few years, the Ministry of Commerce has been tracking the quality of products. But in the past, we have focused more on the quality of our products, and we have constantly improved the standards of our export products, improved the quality of export products, and improved the national standards of our country's manufacturing industry according to international norms. We have made great progress in this regard.

But Yao Jian also pointed out that the Ministry of Commerce has noticed that the problem of imported products has been occurring frequently for a period of time, especially in the use of food and clothing which are directly related to people, and the quality of products has become more prominent and more concerned by everyone.

As our country is the second largest trading country in the world, our import and export enterprises are large and more than 60 million. Therefore, we will further improve the trade policy and trade inspection and quarantine standards in view of the new situation, so as to further promote the trade not only in quantity but also in quality.

Of course, at the same time, we will also take into account the relationship between the improvement of quality standards and trade barriers, and promote the dual balance between free trade flow and quality improvement.
