Kyrgyzstan Exporters: China's Counterfeit Clothing Is A Pain In The Neck.

It is one of the pillar industries in Kyrgyzstan. More than 95% of its garments are exported to Russia and Kazakhstan.

However, in recent years, Chinese clothing has poured into Kyrgyzstan continuously. After labeling the local labels there, it has been exported to Russia and other countries, which has caused great impact on Kyrgyzstan's clothing industry.

Learned from foreign media,

A series of actions will be taken to eliminate the negative effects of counterfeit goods in China.

Sergei Nobomalev, leader of Kyrgyzstan market, enterprise and Service Association, declared: "95% of Kyrgyzstan's export garments are exported to Russia and Kazakhstan.

As our clothing exports increase, Kirgiz clothing stores have even appeared in the large market of Moscow.

However, in recent years, more and more negative evaluations have been made by our clothing brands, which has attracted consumers' antipathy.

All this is due to "China's garment factories."

He complained: "fake and shoddy goods in China have been a headache to many countries.

This problem has not existed for a year or two.

Unfortunately, our local customs can not effectively supervise all the goods imported from China.

It is precisely because of inadequate supervision that many Chinese made clothes have the opportunity to infiltrate Kyrgyzstan and label Kyrgyzstan made.

The Chinese brought those clothes to our country and shipped them to Russia after the OEM.

According to him, the quality of Chinese products is much poorer than that of Kyrgyz.

He explained that some of the purchases have been working with us for a long time. They only buy our products in Dordoy and other fixed places. These products are of quality assurance, but some new buyers mistakenly import fake and shoddy goods made in China to their country and sell them to their customers.

These buyers did not check the goods carefully, and sold the counterfeit goods as authentic products, which eventually led to the loss of customers.

He also mentioned that this situation might be improved after Kyrgyz joined the customs union of Russia and the white Kazakhstan. The number of customs staff will increase and the supervision and control of imported goods will be more stringent.

It is worth mentioning that when Kyrgyzstan becomes a member of the customs union, it will collect 20% of the tax value for Chinese goods and the duty rate of clothing products will reach 10%.

"There is no doubt that this is not only beneficial to protect our businessmen, but also to our consumers," Bono said.

He said that the representatives of the light industry tried to persuade the government to make cloth and

The import tariff will be reduced to 6%, which will greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of domestic garments.

However, Kyrgyz clothing manufacturing industry also has its own problems.

"Lack of skilled clothing workers, many entrepreneurs are almost crying, because we have many orders, there are many new design options, but no one to sew.

Even those garment workers who have been sewing for many years, we need to retrain them. "

The head of the association said.

Finally, he complained that the industry needed to pay high social security payments to the state.
