Exporting new clothes to overseas markets, especially in accordance with the standards and regulatory requirements of the country of destination, is a challenge. How can companies ensure that their products not only meet international standards, but also can go to customs and avoid the risk of returns or recalls due to safety, health or environmental issues? This involves not only the physical and chemical safety performance of clothes, but also the strict control of details, such as the design of ropes, the safety of small parts and the health effects of prints.

General requirements for new clothing exports

Physical performance indicators:New clothing exports must meet basic physical performance requirements such as fabric strength, shrinkage rate, sewing strength. These indicators ensure the stability and durability of clothing in the process of use.
Health and Environmental Standards:
Requirements for pH:The pH value of clothes in direct contact with the skin should be controlled between 4.0 and 7.5, and those in non-direct contact with the skin between 4.0 and 9.0 to reduce the potential harm to the human body.
The ecological friendly:The European market focuses on the limitation of eco-friendly and harmful substances, such as formaldehyde content, AZO dyes and so on.
? Fuel resistance:The U.S. market has strict requirements for flame-resistant properties of clothes, especially childrens clothes.

Special Requirements for Child Clothing

Physical mechanical properties:
The design of the rope and small parts must avoid the danger of suffocation or stroke in children and comply with the US ASTM F1816 and EU EN 14682 regulations.
Packaging requirements are equally strict to avoid safety risks caused by improper packaging.
Chemical safety performance:
Focus on the content of toxic harmful substances such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, benzoate dihydrate, to ensure that it is not exceeded.
Particular attention should be paid to new clothes using bright printed patterns, avoiding the use of high-formaldehyde printing adjuvants and lead compounds.

Customs Reminders

In order to export smoothly and reduce the risk of goods being denied entry due to safety, health or environmental issues, need to understand and master the product standards and regulatory requirements of the target market in advance.In addition, should strengthen risk assessment of product designs, especially when using design solutions provided by importers or retailers, and must ensure the safety of designs.At the same time, need to improve their ability to self-inspection to ensure that all raw materials and accessories meet relevant safety standards.

In short, exporting new clothes to overseas markets, especially during the period of important cultural significance such as the Spring Festival, is not only a trade event but also a cultural spread. It is especially important to ensure that products meet the safety and quality standards of the exporting country. By following the above guidelines, companies can not only avoid potential financial losses, but also build a good brand reputation, laying a solid foundation for future success.
