Apparel Import into China (Part 3) | Is a Chinese Label Required for Imported Clothing?

Yes — all imported apparel must have compliant Chinese labeling.

If garments arrive without Chinese labels or with non-compliant labels, corrective labeling must be completed during the customs clearance process before the goods can be released.

 Typically, Chinese labeling for imported apparel includes:

  • Durable label and hangtag certificate

  • Product name

  • Manufacturer name & address

  • Fiber composition

  • Product standard code

  • Care instructions / washing method

These requirements are detailed in GB 5296.4-2012
“Instructions for Use of Consumer Products – Part 4: Textiles and Apparel”
Section 5 covers hangtags, and Section 6 covers durable labels.

Understanding labeling requirements in advance helps avoid delays and compliance risks at customs.
