The Proportion Of Cotton Imports From India Is Increasing Gradually.

< p > in recent years, with the rapid development of China's "a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "textile" /a "industry and the surge in cotton consumption, imported cotton has become an indispensable raw material supplement for China's textile industry.

India is the second largest exporter of cotton in the world. India cotton occupies an important share in the global market with its own advantages. Similarly, India cotton is also an important component in our market.

Since 1999, China has been importing cotton sporadically from India. The proportion of total cotton imports in China is not high, only 0.74%.

However, since 2003, the proportion of cotton imports from India has gradually increased.

< /p >

< p > up to 2011, the amount of cotton imported from India accounted for 30.15% of the total cotton imports in China.

At present, the share of China's cotton import market is that the United States and India each account for 1/3, and the remaining 1/3 market is divided by Australia, Brazil, Uzbekistan and other small countries.

In the 1-9 month of 2012, India's overall exports of cotton yarn surged to 222052 tons. However, the number of India exported cotton yarn to China is still behind Pakistan this year.

Because China pays more attention to the import of cotton yarn, aiming at reducing labor costs.

According to the India Cotton Advisory Committee, India's cotton exports are expected to drop to 7 million in 2012-2013 years as demand in China sharply decreases.

< p > there will be some common problems when importing India cotton in China.

The following is a summary of these problems. I hope our cotton importing enterprises can take effective measures to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

< /p >

< p > cotton often has some problems when importing, among which the following problems should be noticed when importing India cotton: enterprises should pay special attention to: < /p >

< p > one is poor packaging.

The packaging of India cotton basically uses cloth bags. After long distance pportation, the cotton bags are damaged seriously, resulting in the scattering of cotton and even pollution, causing losses to domestic cotton enterprises.

< /p >

< p > two is a poor consistency.

Some of the India cotton grades have poor consistency, and some even drop to grade two or more, which seriously harms the interests of domestic cotton enterprises.

< /p >

< p > three is the ubiquitous existence of foreign fibers and impurities. The backward production, harvesting and processing methods of cotton in India often cause foreign fibers, such as cloth, hair and hemp rope, and special impurities such as newspapers and sugar paper.

< /p >

< p > four is a serious phenomenon of mildew and adulteration.

India cotton suppliers are mixed up. The phenomenon of mixing moldy cotton and obsolete cotton in export cotton often occurs. This is also an important reason for claims to India cotton.

< /p >

< p > five often occurs when the weight is insufficient. As the climate of India is dry and hot, it is not conducive to seed cotton processing. In the process of cotton ginning, the workers use spray heads, resulting in larger water content in India cotton processing plants.

But after long storage and long-distance pportation, the problem of short weight is widespread because of the volatilization of water.

< /p >

< p > aiming at the frequent occurrence of the quality characteristics and quality inspection problems of India cotton, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of cotton importing enterprises, enterprises should take effective control measures: < /p >

< p > one is to attach great importance to the quality of cotton in India. When signing the contract, the grade can not be concluded at the US cotton standard level, but it should be done in the small sample size.

The roller roller cotton has its own quality characteristics, and it is not suitable to use the sawtooth cotton standard as a control. Otherwise, it will cause downgrade and the interval is not easy to master, thereby damaging the interests of the enterprise.

< /p >

< p > two is in the terms of the contract, it should be indicated that the regain is 8.5%, to limit the moisture regain, that is, the moisture regain is less than 8.5%, the net weight is settled, the moisture regain is higher than 8.5%, the settlement is based on the common amount, and the loss caused by the high moisture regain of India cotton is reduced.

< /p >

< p > three is a careful choice of partners.

In March 15, 2009, the AQSIQ formally implemented the registration management and quality credit rating management system for imported cotton suppliers from the mainland of China, and domestic enterprises could choose their trade according to the state of AQSIQ's issuing credit situation of overseas cotton suppliers and reduce the risk of cotton quality problems caused by traders' credit problems.

Four, enterprises must make artificial selection before using India cotton, so as to avoid the loss of foreign fibers to production.

Five, when importing India cotton, we should ensure that the contents of the contract are complete and the terms are specific. It is better to proceed with the pre shipment inspection, and timely declare to the inspection and quarantine department after arrival, find the problems in time and feedback in time, so as to claim as soon as possible and reduce the losses.
