Shenzhen Shekou Port Intercepted and Captured Unqualified Imported Tiles in Disguise
Recently, Shenzhen Shekou CIQ, when conducting field inspection on a batch of imported tiles, found the CCC mark of these tiles did not meet regulated requirements and models of part of the goods did not conform to CCC certificate. It seemed that the importer was trying to import commodities that did not hold CCC certification under disguise. This was the first time Shekou CIQ intercepted and captured CCC unqualified imported tiles. At present, Shekou CIQ has required the importer to modify the unqualified CCC marks, and has destroyed the tiles whose models do not conform to the provided CCC certificates.
It is reported that these tiles are from Italy. The declared commodity names are polished tiles and glazed tiles. In the field inspection, Shekou CIQ found that the CCC mark on the external package looked no difference from qualified CCC mark at first glance. But by looking closely, it was found that the CCC marks were printed onto papers and then pasted onto the external package, which does not conform to the CCC regulation that CCC marks shall be labeled with laser anti-fake marking or be printed or mould pressed onto external package. CCC mark is the uniform mark required by our country¡¯s compulsory product certification scheme.Products within CCC catalog scope but without qualified CCC mark may not obtain CCC approval and thus may post threats to our country¡¯s environment production and human safety. At present, Shekou CIQ has taken isolation measures against these tiles. And based on the fact that A class radioactivity level in GB6566 applies to this kind of tiles, Shekou CIQ did radioactivity test on this batch of cargoes, and no exceeding radioactivity was found.
CIR reminds tiles importers to choose suppliers of good credit when importing tile products. Before signing purchase contract, suppliers shall know tile quality well and do some research, and do sampling test when necessary. Plus, it is important to add quality terms, domestic CCC certification and marking requirements in the purchase contract. For new variety of tiles, the CCC certification and marking labeling shall be done before import. Never take chance, in hope of muddling through.
