Shantou customs official reminded.

As one of the most important areas of textile and clothing export in eastern Guangdong, trade barriers emerge in an endless stream, which puts forward higher requirements for the production and inspection of textile and garment export enterprises in eastern Guangdong.

In August, the EU formally issued two new rules to directly or indirectly lift the threshold of textiles entering Europe.

Textile and garment export enterprises must promptly follow up the relevant laws and regulations of the European Union, actively match their ecological and quality requirements, and actively apply for environmental labels, so as to remain competitive.
