According to the No. 151 Decree of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ), the Inspection and Supervision of Imported Cotton has come into effect since February 1, 2013. In addition, China divided the overseas suppliers into three levels, namely A, B and C on the basis of their credit quality, in order to manage them dynamically.
With regard to A-level overseas suppliers, the sampling inspection of cotton should be carried out in the destination that the consignee declared for by local inspection and quarantine bureau of destination in accordance with the industrial standards enacted by the AQSIQ. As for B-level overseas suppliers, the cotton should be inspected more strictly with twice as the sampling amount in the destination of the consignee declared for. For C-level overseas suppliers, cotton should be inspected the most strictly with twice as the sampling amount at the port of entry by the inspection and quarantine bureau of destination.
At present, inspection and quarantine bureaus in China are implementing the measure actively and recommend importers in China to try to choose A-level cotton suppliers, in order to effectively promote the trade of cotton import in China.
