All buyers and sellers now have to sign a form attesting to the quality of the goods they purchase.
Shang-Jin Wei, a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business and School of International and Public Affairs, says media reports and officials who make public complaints typically don’t emphasize the name of the company that made the low quality product, which puts the blame on China collectively“This feature of the media reporting creates extra reputational spillover across Chinese exporters,” he says.
“I can imagine China customs pointing to the document and saying that it wasn’t their fault because someone else took on that responsibility,” Gould says. Allam is skeptical the new rule will make it easier to ship PPE because it adds a layer of red tape to the export process, and it may cause delays as well as confusion among individual customs officers.
