China's Investigation Into PVH Corp: Xinjiang Cotton Boycott and Potential Consequences

Following an investigation launched in September 2024, China's Ministry of Commerce added PVH Corp., the owner of brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, to its list of "untrustworthy entities." The decision was made due to the company's refusal to source cotton from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. ​

The Chinese government alleged that PVH violated market rules by boycotting products from Xinjiang and harmed the rights of Chinese companies. This move is viewed as part of China's retaliation strategy against U.S. companies. ​

PVH's operations in China account for 18% of the company's total production and 6% of its sales. This sanction could force the company to suspend its operations in China and shift production to other countries. Experts note that establishing new supply chains will take time and could cause inventory shortages. ​

PVH stated that it was surprised and disappointed by China's decision, noting that it continues its communication with relevant authorities and expects a positive resolution. ​

Key Points:

• China's Ministry of Commerce added PVH to its list of "untrustworthy entities."

• PVH Corp. is the owner of brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.

• The reason for the decision is PVH's refusal to source cotton from Xinjiang.

• The sanction could negatively affect PVH's operations in China.

• PVH stated it was surprised and disappointed by the decision.
