After numerous complaints against food, healthcare products, cosmetics, diet pills as well as medical appliances, Taobao.com will ban the sale of unlicensed goods on its website.
As of June 26, Taobao.com, China’s answer to Ebay, will require sellers
of these goods to produce relevant certificates, information about
their health licenses, inspection and quarantine qualification
certificates or quality inspection qualification certificates, before
selling their goods online.
The Internet auction website said that
these are the basic documents that a legal manufacturer should have and
can be easily obtained by sellers.
