< p > < /p >.

< p > according to the latest data released by the Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in 2012, Jiangsu imported a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > 4187 batches, 1 million 462 thousand tons, and the value of goods was more than 3 billion 500 million US dollars, up 94.3%, 127.1% and 101.1% respectively compared with the previous year.

However, in addition to strength, the conformity rate of grade, length and fineness of imported cotton decreased.

According to statistics, the overall average rate of non conformity of imported cotton grades was 10.84%, an increase of 1.61% over the previous year.

The average overall non conformity rate was 2.85%, an increase of 0.53% over the previous year.

Fineness overall average rate of non conformity was 8%, an increase of 3.69% over the previous year.

The problem of the short weight of imported cotton is also prominent, with more than 84% of the imported batches having a short weight problem. A total of 97 batches of cotton have a short weight rate of more than 3% and the highest short weight rate of 14.54%.

Cotton imports mainly come from 30 countries and regions. The United States, India and Australia account for 33.2%, 26.6% and 14.8% of imports respectively.

< p > Wu Hao, deputy director of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Jiangsu industrial and commercial inspection center, "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "target=" _blank "> textile < /a > laboratory, said that the main reasons for the decline in the quality of imported cotton include: first, the large quantity of imported cotton in China caused the tight supply of cotton in the international market; some foreign cotton traders took advantage of the shoddy and short weight; two, the lack of understanding of the cotton quality by the importing enterprises, the high index of the cotton contract determined, and the spot quality failing to meet the requirement was judged unqualified; three, the cotton grade of the main importing countries decreased.

In the United States, India, Australia, Brazil and other major countries, cotton to the level of goods decreased compared with the previous year.

The proportion of cotton imported into cotton in these countries is large, which directly leads to an increase in the rate of non conformity of imported cotton.

< p > here, the inspection and quarantine department reminds domestic importing cotton trade enterprises: to enhance self-protection consciousness, the import contract should be signed according to the terms of Sino spinning or the terms of the China Cotton Association.

If a problem is found, it can be compensated by the claim certificate issued by the inspection and quarantine department to avoid economic losses. The cotton importers with good reputation should be selected. In March 15, 2009, the AQSIQ formally implemented the registration management and quality credit rating management system for imported cotton suppliers in mainland China, and the domestic enterprises could choose their trade according to the credit situation of the overseas cotton supplier enterprises issued by the AQSIQ, and reduce the cotton quality risk caused by traders' credit problems.

In addition, when importing cotton in large quantities, enterprises may apply to the inspection and quarantine department for inspection before shipment in order to avoid "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "import cotton < /a > weight and quality risks.
