In order to prepare for the tender for export of textiles to the United States in 2006, Shaoxing Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau held a training course on textile export tendering on December 1, but the result was that there were not many textile enterprises registered in Shaoxing County for training. Among the 583 exporting textile enterprises that are eligible for bidding in the county, less than one-tenth of them participated in the training.

Some companies that participate in training are not optimistic about the open bidding for textile exports to the United States. The main exporters of Shaoxing County Xintianlong Textile Co., Ltd. are the European Union and the United States. Last year, the United States exported more than 1 million US dollars, accounting for about 10% of the company's total exports. They think they want to solve export quotas through bidding. It is impossible. Next year, you can only spend money on the market to buy quotas, or through other means to obtain quotas.
Zhejiang Guins Textile & Garment Co., Ltd., the person in charge of the training, said that the company’s exports to the United States last year amounted to 1 million US dollars, and the export volume was 100,000 dozens (a dozen for 12). According to the customs's statistical export value, the highest bid amount that their company can get this year is only 2,000 dozen.
The relevant person in charge of Shaoxing Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau said that there are two main reasons. The first is that many textile enterprises in Shaoxing County have participated in the training course for bidding in the EU in September, which is quite familiar with the bidding process. The second reason is Most of the textile products that are restricted in the United States are ready-to-wear. Only a small number of fabrics are involved, and the number of textile fabrics is small. The scalar volume of “cups and waters†has caused many companies to lose interest in bidding. The responsible person believes that the company is not interested in the tender for textile exports to the United States. From another perspective, it also reflects that scientific and technological innovation has begun to show results. Most of the products set in the United States are low-end products with low production technology. Shaoxing County has adjusted its product structure in time to avoid the troubles caused by the restrictions.
This industry expects that due to the limited number of tenders, there will be many companies in the next year that there are no quotas for orders. Enterprises want to break through the quota restrictions, only change the industrial structure, do grade products, and fight for non-quota products.
