Is It Safe To Buy Imported Consumer Goods On Cross-Border E-Commerce Platforms?

Many consumers like to buy imported consumer goods through cross-border e-commerce platform, feel that the quality is good, the quality is guaranteed, but are these imported goods really safe?

The 30 day, the Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau held

Briefing on imported consumer goods.

The main sampling includes Tmall international, Taobao, NetEase koala, Jingdong global purchase and other cross-border e-commerce platform, sampling the sale of adults on the platform.

58 batches of all kinds of samples, such as food and children's products, were tested and 39 batches failed.

It involves 9 batches of unqualified quality.

Luo Jianghong, director of the inspection and supervision department of Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau, revealed that the unqualified situation was mainly concentrated in adult clothing, toys, baby diapers and children's food. "Adult food and children's wipes are generally of better quality and no quality disqualification has been found."

The website is marked with diapers made from Japan but is inspected for production in China.

Many parents will buy their babies through cross-border e-commerce platform.

。

Ms. Tao, who lives in Hangzhou, often buys children's clothing from her 3 year old son through the Amazon platform. When she meets with some platforms for promotion, she even buys a big bag at one go.

Consumers who share the same idea with Ms. Tao are not in the minority.

But in fact, the imported children's clothing purchased on cross platform is not one hundred percent guaranteed quality and safety, and is in line with the relevant domestic standards.

In the 8 batch of children's clothing, 4 batches have quality problems.

The 3 batch of products imported from Bangladesh's "Ledu special" boy sports cap suit, Holland imported "NOPPIES" Baby Shirts and hooded tops and Vietnamese imported "ALFONSO" fur collar hooded long sleeves were inspected and the actual fiber content did not conform to the logo.

1 batches of printed short sleeved dolls are not qualified.

This means that import is not zero risk.

Children's Day is coming. Some consumers will buy imported toys as a holiday gift through cross platform.

However, imported toys also have the risk of hurting children.

In the 11 batch of toys sampled, 2 batches from Japan and South Korea have "touches of sharp edges and small parts".

Provincial Academy of sciences related personnel told reporters that the 2 batches of substandard products are mainly riding toys, the reason is that the failure of small parts is easy to fall off, will be eaten by children, and the sharp edges produced by the parts may cause harm to children.

In addition to finding out that the product safety project is not qualified, the staff also found out that the 1 batch of baby diapers sold on a cross-border e-commerce website, which marked the origin of Japan's diapers on the website, was actually found to be the origin of China.

"The words on the outer packaging of these diapers are all Japanese, almost the same as those produced in Japan."

Luo Jianghong introduced that the Japanese diapers were labeled "MADE IN JAPAN" in English at the bottom of the side, while Chinese made factories in the middle of the side were labelled in Japanese, and businessmen suspected of misleading consumers.

A United States imported milk bottle failed to be recalled.

In addition to children's clothing and toys, parents are concerned about the quality of bottles.

Zhejiang inspection and Quarantine Bureau has sampled 18 bottles of bottles sold on the Tmall international platform, which is labeled "plastic bottle against inflation" imported from the United States.

After testing, the evaporation residue of the white rubber stopper of the bottle exceeds 4 times the standard value.

Provincial Academy of sciences related personnel told reporters that if children use this bottle for a long time, it is easy to cause toxic damage.

At present, the imported milk bottle with excessive evaporation residue has been recalled, which is the first case in the country to recall the defective consumer products in the cross-border electricity supplier field.

In addition, Alibaba has also disposed of all products that are unqualified in the supervision and spot checks.

Luo Jianghong disclosed that the next step would be to increase the crackdown on counterfeit and shoddy products in the cross-border e-commerce field, and establish a follow-up cooperation mechanism with Alibaba to better protect consumers' health and safety.
