When visiting major clothing chain stores in Guangzhou, it was observed that whenever customers raised concerns about the price or quality of garments, sales staff often responded with, “This is high-grade imported fabric.†It seems that without any evidence or verification, simply labeling a product as “imported fabric†is enough to satisfy customer doubts. But how credible is this label? Is “imported fabric†really so superior? Should it be given special treatment? As one source from Zhuhai Pure Garment Co., Ltd. revealed, many products are labeled in foreign languages, with only small amounts of cashmere clearly marked as “pure cashmere,†while the rest of the composition remains unclear. Washing instructions are often missing, and the labels lack any detailed descriptions. According to media reports, these misleading labels are essentially tricking consumers.
Experts warn that people should not blindly trust the term “imported fabric.†When purchasing clothing or textiles, it’s important to ask for receipts to protect future rights. The Hangzhou Consumers Association advises caution, noting that many believe imported fabrics are inherently better, sometimes even giving them “super national treatment.†However, some experts have pointed out that this perception may not always be accurate.
The Wuxi Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has also issued warnings, urging businesses to pay close attention to the quality of imported fabrics. Before signing contracts with foreign suppliers, companies should conduct thorough research and carefully select reliable sources. Additionally, inspections upon import and internal quality checks are essential steps. If any issues arise, companies should promptly report them to the relevant authorities and apply for inspection certificates to support any claims.
During a visit to Beijing Road, a well-known commercial street in Guangzhou, it was clear that despite the high prices of foreign brand clothes, there is still a strong demand among fashion-conscious consumers. Many believe that foreign brands mean better quality and fabric. However, they are increasingly facing a harsh reality: the growing issue of “dress pollution†caused by imported apparel.
Today, the problem of “dress pollution†from imported clothing is becoming more serious, posing a real threat to human health. One of the main culprits is formaldehyde, a harmful substance that can cause skin irritation and respiratory problems. Excessive levels of formaldehyde in clothing can lead to long-term health risks, especially for children, who may experience fatigue, headaches, and sleep disturbances.
Recent tests conducted in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, on imported textiles showed alarming results, with high levels of formaldehyde found in fabrics from countries such as Jordan, Japan, and Taiwan. This has led to public complaints that “imported clothing brings imported ‘dress pollution.’â€
China is one of the largest textile producers and consumers globally, with imported fabrics making up a significant portion of its textile imports—often between 30% to 40%. Major export destinations include Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. In the first half of this year, Guangdong province alone accounted for 40.89% of the nation’s fabric imports, showing strong growth.
Italy plays a key role in China’s textile imports. In 2009, China imported $290 million worth of Italian clothing, making up 17% of total garment imports. Woven garments dominated, accounting for 68%, while knitted items made up 32%. Men’s suits, women’s wear, and T-shirts were among the most popular categories.
In addition, Italy is a major supplier of fabric to China. In 2009, China imported $145 million in wool fabric from Italy, which accounted for 33% of all wool fabric imports. Chemical fiber fabrics made up the bulk, at 60–70%, while cotton, wool, silk, and blended fabrics accounted for 70–85% of domestic consumption.
With advancements in chemical fiber production technology in China, the import of synthetic fabrics has gradually declined. However, high-end brands continue to favor imported fabrics due to their perceived advantages in feel, appearance, color, and drape. Experts note that imported fabrics offer better performance in terms of softness, texture, and visual appeal.
The process used to simulate foreign fabrics often involves “alkali reduction,†which improves softness but increases environmental impact and energy consumption. While this method enhances the feel of polyester fabrics, it can result in less structured garments. Most of China’s chemical fiber fabric imports consist of polyester filament yarn, with smaller quantities of other synthetic fibers and blended fabrics.
