When importing apparel into China, several qualifications and compliance steps must be met to ensure smooth customs clearance and avoid legal risks. Here are the essentials:

1.Business Registration
Importers must register with the local Administration for Market Regulation and include textile/apparel in their business scope.

2.Foreign Trade Filing
A filing with the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) is required to obtain import–export operation rights.

3.Brand Authorization
For branded apparel, official authorization from the brand owner is mandatory.
Without it, customs may consider the goods infringing.

4.Prohibition on Used Clothing
China strictly prohibits the import of second-hand or used apparel.

5.Special Approval for Exhibition-Use Apparel
Garments imported temporarily for exhibitions, fashion shows, or display require special permits and temporary import procedures.
