(RFF), jointly providing technical support for the export of China's footwear industry, and establishing an international trade bridge for communication and cooperation between international buyers and Chinese footwear suppliers.

China is the largest supplier of footwear in the United States, occupying about 70% of the US footwear market. However, in recent years, the market share of Vietnam and Indonesia in the footwear market has shown a rapid increase. According to statistics from the US Department of Commerce, from January to October 2013, US imports of footwear products from China amounted to US$14.703 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 0.44%; while imports of footwear products from Vietnam reached US$2.455 billion, a year-on-year increase of 21.36%. The constantly changing and extremely challenging international market competition environment has made Chinese footwear export enterprises face the dual requirements of more stringent product quality requirements from buyers and related labor standards and social responsibilities.

With the continuous strengthening of Sino-U.S. trade, channels for building trust and communication in trade are increasingly valued by buyers and suppliers. In recent years, TUVSUD and FDRA have conducted a series of forums and other activities in China, and are committed to building a bridge of trust and communication for buyers and sellers. TUVSUD as a world-class provider of security, quality and sustainability solutions, has nearly 150 years of testing and certification experience, can support every aspect of the supply chain in the footwear field, from the first designer to the merchandise The finished product of the shop ensures the quality of products and processes in the international supply chain. As the largest shoe trade association in the United States, FDRA supports more than 100 companies and more than 200 brands, from research, design, development, manufacturing and distribution to retail services to consumers worldwide.

As FDRA's only executive testing and certification partner, TUVSUD's role in international trade is increasingly important. While providing testing certification to ensure the safety of end-consumers and promote the smoothness of trade, TUVSUD is willing to become a useful bridge between international trade and cooperate with many well-known footwear brands in the United States. In May this year, Kapil Bansal from TUVSUD was appointed by FDRA as a member of the board of directors, combining the global experience accumulated by TUVSUD in the field of footwear and FDRA's thought leaders and wisdom centers in the aspects of footwear product safety, social compliance and international regulations.
