On July 22, at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council, Li Xingqian, Director of the Department of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Commerce, responded to the issue that Amazon has recently banned a large number of sellers, and some Chinese sellers and companies have been greatly affected.
Li Xingqian said that as far as I know, the behavior of some businesses is deemed to violate the Amazon platform’s "Code of Conduct for Sellers" and other format terms, and their operations are restricted.
The Ministry of Commerce has always required companies to abide by the laws and regulations of various countries, respect local customs and habits, and conduct operations in compliance with laws and regulations.
The Ministry of Commerce will provide assistance for enterprises to improve their risk control level, strengthen the docking with international economic and trade rules and standards, resolutely support enterprises to take reasonable measures to protect their legitimate rights and interests, promote various upstream and downstream entities to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and jointly promote the healthy development of the industry.
Li Xingqian expressed the hope that the platform will cherish the important contributions made by the majority of enterprises, fully respect various trading entities, and believe that the platform and enterprises can find a solution that is both compliant and reasonable.
The Ministry of Commerce will continue to pay attention to relevant developments.
