Analysis of protection of garment products in the domestic industry against the thrifting industry

Abstract

The increase in purchases of imported second-hand goods by the public is a severe problem, significantly affecting the garment industry. Many people prefer imported used clothing to local products. This problem is a challenge for the garment industry to compete well. The government has long been intensifying regulations regarding prohibiting imports of used clothing to help the domestic garment industry. However, this problem has remained the same, so there needs to be strong protection for garment products to remain viable in the domestic market. This article will examine the regulations regarding the import of used clothing. This research uses normative legal research methods that carry out empirical studies. The results show that many government regulations have been intensified regarding imported clothing. In addition, this community service provides an understanding of the economic review of the law put forward by the ministers and the solutions that the garment industry must face.
