In recent years, 60% of export enterprises have encountered foreign technical barriers to trade to varying degrees, which has affected 25% of China's total exports. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, in 2002, six kinds of 2 1 products, such as electromechanical services and light industry, suffered from technical barriers to trade, with business interruption as high as 7 1%, the proportion of products blocked was 39%, and the loss amount was1.70 million US dollars.
