Europe And The United States To Improve Import Standards Footwear Enterprises Affected

　　据金融界，欧盟和美国等进口大国，近日突然加大对传统产品的进口准入标准，如澳大利亚称自7月1日开始，要求对含有磁铁的儿童玩具实行强制标准。　

The international organization for Standardization (ISO) has announced that it will increase the coverage of imported toy chemical elements to paint, printing ink, cardboard and other items according to the new standard.

The US Customs will increase the detection of Chinese textiles in the near future.

Canada and the EU have also issued a number of documents to curb imports.

As textile, clothing, toys and footwear are warnings, half of the Hong Kong companies are affected.

Guangdong shoe manufacturers will show that they are not optimistic about exports in the second half of the year, and suggest that manufacturers adjust their direction in time to develop emerging markets such as ASEAN.

Due to the aggravation of the European debt crisis, the economic uncertainty in Europe and the United States has increased. The recent export market environment is no less severe than the same period last year. As at the end of May, only 31 products of footwear products were recalled by Europe and the United States, representing an increase of 40.91% compared with the same period last year.

It is also predicted that the euro area's economic growth this year will be only 1%-1.5%. The exchange rate of RMB against the euro will continue to rise, and the export pressure in this region will increase exponentially in the second half of this year.

Attention should be paid to the preservation of correspondence between customers, as an effective evidence of breach of contract, to protect their rights and interests.

At the same time, it is suggested that when signing contracts in Europe and America, we should try our best to be flexible, with short term small contracts as the main target, and only to make short lists within 3 months.

He Guiling, President of Guangdong Footwear Manufacturers Association, told reporters that the footwear industry in Guangdong accounted for about 1/3 of the world.

From the recent international shoe exhibitions, we can see that the demand level of traditional exporting countries has declined. In the second half of the year, the European and American markets will once again enter the off-season. It is suggested that manufacturers should strengthen the development of emerging markets such as ASEAN and Africa.
