Green Trade Barriers, Shoes And Enterprises, A Way To Export.

With the deepening of the new wave of economy, the trade volume of China's footwear industry is increasing, and it has also led to strong rebound from these countries or regions until fierce confrontation.

With the wider and deeper participation of Chinese enterprises in international competition, the non-tariff barriers to trade will also increase and the situation is grim.

In order to protect their economic development, countries are "closely guarded".

Non tariff barrier, also known as green trade barrier, has advantages such as its concealment, easy adjustment and easy operation, and the objective of causing contradictions is much smaller than that of tariff barriers. It also has an instant effect on restricting product imports, and is increasingly favored by all trading nations.

Countries in the world, especially developed countries, are increasingly protecting the domestic industry under the banner of maintaining the order of import and export, protecting the interests of domestic consumers, protecting the ecological environment and protecting intellectual property rights.

In recent years, due to WEEE, ROHS, EUP, REACH and other "ban", the export of Chinese shoe enterprises has been seriously affected.

In October 2006, officially approved by the European Parliament, it is prohibited to sell products that are PFOS or PFOS, with a concentration or quality equal to or greater than 0.005%, and prohibit the sale of fabrics, coatings and semi-finished products containing PFOS concentration or quality equal to or greater than 0.005%, and prohibit the sale of products with the content of PFOS in the coating per square meter equal to or exceeding 1 milligrams; and the pitional period of this Regulation shall be set at 18 months.

In May this year, the EU REACH regulation stipulates that no textile and footwear items without registration, assessment, authorization and restriction (REACH) will be allowed to enter EU countries since July 1, 2009.

This is more difficult for Chinese shoe companies to increase exports.

China shoes city Jinjiang occupies an important position in the footwear industry. Recently, the Jinjiang footwear inspection center of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that in the relevant testing process, the physical property testing items, such as tensile strength, adhesion strength, wear rate, etc., Jinjiang shoes enterprises can easily pass through.

The relative weakness is the safety test for the content of nickel, chromium and cadmium in shoe making raw materials, and the detection of chemical resistance of resistance, voltage and flame retardancy.

The latter two relate to the "green standard" of environmental protection and human health. It is precisely the EU's trade barriers that are directed against the "green flag".

In view of the increasing intensity of green barriers in the footwear industry, more and more shoe companies have turned their attention to technology and environmental protection.

Whether nano technology, shock absorption and skid resistance technology, or the use of non-toxic, environmental protection as raw materials for shoes, you can see that under the green barrier, Chinese shoe enterprises have not bowed their heads.

Even if the international brand is set higher for Chinese shoe companies, the Chinese shoe companies will use their own strength to cross the road.
