Tear off the "foreign brand" pictorial contract to ensure that you choose the building materials are not fooled

When you walk into the home building material store, you will find that all products are directly branded in the United States, Germany, Italy, or all in English. "Foreign name" all over the world, salespersons are also introduced. So do they call foreign brands 100% imported products in the traditional sense? Really not necessarily. The reporter’s investigation found that these “foreign goods” are actually divided into various types, all imported, some imported, and “pseudo-import”. Therefore, if you want to buy real goods, you have to take a dim sum, look up their imported identities, and protect your rights and interests through contract signing. → Related links: Home decoration regrets medicine case to open the bottom to buy building materials to see the brand see more features

Market Status Foreign Identity is divided into four categories

Words such as "British Production", "American Brand", "European Import", "Made in Germany", etc. are everywhere in Beijing's hypermarkets. All products are wearing dresses and claim to have overseas relations, but in fact, many products are not What the average consumer thinks is "the imports of finished products, that is, they are shipped directly from overseas." The reporter chose the Dazheng Temple Blue View Lijia Home Furnishing Plaza and the Beijing Building Materials Economic and Trade Mansion and other stores to investigate and found that these products wearing dresses are roughly divided into four categories, including both genuine imported products and imported materials. What's more, all of the products are produced in the country, but they are just wearing "suits."

original imported

That is, all components are produced and assembled abroad. After being made into finished products, direct import into China is the original imported product, which is the “imported product” that consumers generally understand. In general, when the original imported product enters the store, it is required to provide the Customs declaration form, the dealer's certificate for the product, and the origin mark. Generally, the agents of such products are more competent and can provide consumers with product descriptions and various product certificates. Salespersons such as "SALONI" (Saloni) tiles and EGGER flooring are very confident and claim that the products are imported and can provide certificates of origin and customs declarations.

Another product is "material import, domestic assembly", that is, all materials are sourced from abroad, the material is shipped over and assembled in the country as a finished product. The sales staff of FLEXA, a children's furniture company in Finland, introduced the product, which is imported from Denmark and has a customs declaration. When the product is installed in the consumer's home, on-site unpacking allows you to view the product description and origin description on the package.

Dual identity

Some foreign brands have their own products and they also set up factories in China to produce and assemble products. Domestic assembled products will generally use the imported designs or some materials or technologies. In the case of similar styles and styles, the prices of foreign products and domestic products of the same brand differ greatly. In this case, the average consumer can discern whether these products are imported or domestically produced. However, as a consumer, you need to carefully inquire whether the imported products are imported and what are the imported products. Some large shopping malls are relatively formal. If asked, sales staff will tell consumers or store products that the trademark will have a clear logo, indicate the origin of the product, such as "produced in Foshan, Guangdong" or "Spain."

Such as Blue King Li "British Dunlop" mattresses are both imported, but also domestic production and assembly. It is understood that the same mattress, the former price of about 20,000 yuan, the latter only 4,000 yuan. The salesman introduced that the raw materials of domestic products such as latex and springs were all imported, but as the key technology of mattresses, the springs were imported from the country, and they were bent by the domestic market, and the bedspreads were processed domestically. Understand the details of the imported materials of the products, and also help consumers make judgments when choosing.

The sales staff of the Roca sanitary ware store in the Building Materials Trade Building stated that the brand is a Spanish product, but some products are imported, and some products are produced in the country, such as sanitary ware. Its glazes and design and styling are imported, but due to foreign pit distance and China Different, so specific products are produced in the country. Some of the hardware is also imported, but the price of imported products is relatively high. The reporter saw that the trademarks of the products all indicate the place of origin. Consumers can know their place of origin by checking the trademark.

Chinese and foreign mixed people

There are some products such as cabinets, furniture and other products. Some of the materials are imported from abroad. Some of the materials are produced in China and then assembled together. They can be called "Chinese and foreign mixed people." For example, at the cabinet shop of the "OPTIFIT" brand in Germany, the salesperson first stated that the store's product is a manufacturer in Beijing and later said "There are also German products. The cabinets and hardware are imported from abroad, but marble The countertop is domestic." “How can I prove that the material is indeed imported?” she said. Consumers can check the product description when the package is unpacked at the installation site.

There are also some “Chinese and foreign mixed racers” who cannot verify their imports directly through certificates. For example, in the Granite Furniture Store of the Building Materials Economic and Trade Building, the store’s sales staff introduced the product as a Canadian brand, but the current products are domestically produced, among which one The fabric of the sofa is imported. "How do you know if this fabric is imported?" "You know it when you touch it. It's not the same as a homemade hand." When the reporter said she couldn't see it, she said with certainty that she was "imported."

In addition, there are some products that are domestic brands, but they use some of the imported materials, such as the use of German love grid plate and other furniture brands.

Overseas registration

Some products claim that they are foreign-owned manufacturers of foreign brands in China. For such brands, consumers can “identify themselves” through their qualification documents. Most of these products are registered overseas by a Chinese person, and their production and sales are realized at home. Prices are not much different from domestic products. When encountering such a product, it is difficult for average consumers to identify whether the foreign brand is indeed available or whether its brand is as famous as it is in the publicity.

“Where are you from the brand?” “Italian brand, produced in Foshan, Guangdong.” At a certain brand of bathroom shops, the reporter heard questions from consumers and sales staff. According to sales personnel, the product is an Italian brand, but it is produced in Foshan, Guangdong. The sales staff stated that the product was designed by an Italian designer and the glaze was imported from abroad and the quality was guaranteed.

Consumers lack awareness and knowledge

For this eye-catching foreign goods foreigners, how do consumers see and choose? The reporter interviewed several consumers randomly in the store.

Mr. Qiu said that the first is to look at their own ability to bear, and to choose products of good quality and style in an acceptable range. He believes that foreign products rely more on the quality of imported products because of relatively high technical standards, advanced technology and higher environmental protection requirements. “Under the same price point, we will certainly choose imported products.” Another consumer, Mr. Lei, said that the design and style of imported products are more advanced and unique, and their workmanship is also relatively good. They generally represent high quality and identity. In comparison, More like imported products.

There are also consumers who have no special preference for imported products. Ms. Wang has said that she buys products mainly based on style and quality. In recent years, many domestic products have been exported to foreign countries, and their design and quality are not bad, even better than foreign countries. Moreover, the prices of imported products are much higher, so there is no need to choose imported products.

However, these consumers are generally unaware of how to choose imported products and whether “pseudo-import” products exist in the market. They think that imported products, that is, finished products made abroad, are shipped directly to domestic products. There is no awareness of imported products, and they do not even know how to identify them. "Sales staff said that it was imported, then it should be imported." Mr. Sun said that he never considered that imported products were "partly imported" or even "domestic." "Isn't the import is 100% imported? "He said it was very strange. Ms. Zhou also asked with concern how the differences between the various categories of imported products should be identified.

Industry contractual protection rights

So many foreign brand products, each claiming that they have overseas relations, in the end how to identify which are imported products? Zhong Hongwen, chairman of Germany-China AIG, which has been engaged in many years of import and export business, introduced that if it is an imported product, it can provide certificates of origin, import customs declarations, certificates issued by foreign manufacturers (that is, the degree of acceptance of distributors or exhibition halls), etc. Consumers can use these things to check whether the product is imported. Compared with domestic products, the quality of imported products is more refined and more durable, and consumers can generally see it.

“The most important thing is that consumers should be very careful in signing contracts.” Ding Weidong, president of the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association, said that when signing contracts or invoicing, the seller is required to specify which components (specific to the door, cabinet, hardware) And so on) are imported products, which components are domestic products, in the contract annexes agreed good product features, which service protection and so on. "Contracts are fundamental to safeguarding consumer rights."

Consumers mentioned by the salesman can see from the packaging bag that the method of “exactly verifying”, such as the origin of the product, can effectively identify the imported product. Zhong Hongwen said it is not necessarily credible, "The key is the contractual agreement that allows sales staff to specify specific imported materials and service guarantees."

What should I do if I later discover that the contract is a domestic product? Wang Shiping, a lawyer of Beijing Tongchuang Law Firm, believes that the seller refers to non-imported products as imported products and is a breach of contract by distributors. Such acts constitute fraud and consumers can claim double compensation. In addition, you can also see if there is a contract concerning the settlement of disputes in the contract. There is a way to pay in accordance with the contract, if there is no agreement, consumers can use the Consumers Association or the court to claim, replace or fill in the relevant price difference.
