I manage compliance for all three brands at Capri Group. Each quarter, I need to integrate information on merchandise and review all category lists for imported goods from Hong Kong and Italy.
In order to better understand the new goods of quality,  I will pick each season’s best-selling bags and shoes to the local lab for product test after new goods are launched. And also I am responsible for contacting government departments.

In China, sellers need to pass quality checks to avoid fines from the government. I deal with different cases every day, it is tiring sometimes, but overall I am very satisfied with my job.
