China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (GAQSIQ) announced on Thursday it had uncovered 130 batches of substandard import goods between March and the end of July.

The GAQSIQ said it had conducted quality sampling checks on 8,695 batches of imports on their environmental protection features in the five month period.

All the substandard imported products had been shipped back or destroyed, the quality watchdog said without elaborating.

The administration also had signed product quality agreements with 30,519 domestic exporters from different industries in the period to better supervise their product qualities.

It had completed 11,585 raw material sampling tests on domestic toy producers in the period, without giving more details.
