However, now this becomes too risky to be worth doing because the punishment will be very severe if CIQ find out the fact and what they buy only occupy a part of their business. CIQ will order any facilities who violate CIQ regulation or whose products are rejected for safety problems to stop production before being reapproved by CIQ, while suspending their licenses for exportation, which is normally for three months. However, I still doubt if some of the facilities would export products from noncertified facilities or facilities unqualified by their customers when they believe the products are safe by testing report by their own lab, especially for products from last season for which they signed a contract with their customers without notifying the customer of the true manufacturer. But it will not be a big quantity and this will increase their cost too because they will have to truck the products back and repack in their own facilities. Local CIQ officials used to encourage local facilities for exportation but now tend to be conservative because several chief officials have been removed from their positions due to safety incidents occurred abroad. CIQ is responsible for all the farming, processing, manufacturing and export. The yield for each field is estimated when it registered. I reviewed the black list in CIQ that most of the violations happened are from unregistered factories who exported their products with incorrect names of products.
