Foshan, Guangzhou — September 12, 2025: The Chinese government has intensified its crackdown on financial irregularities in the furniture export industry, urging both domestic manufacturers and international buyers to proceed with caution. Stricter regulations and compliance checks are now being enforced to curb money laundering and tax evasion in high-value furniture transactions.
Recent events have shaken the industry, with authorities launching investigations into several major furniture chains, including Easy Home and RoyalCraft Furniture Hub. In a shocking turn of events, China’s Easyhome Chairman Died by suicide amid growing financial and legal pressures. Sources indicate that multiple suppliers and exporters linked to these brands are also facing scrutiny.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has issued fresh guidelines mandating complete transparency in cross-border furniture payments. Importers from India, the Middle East, and Europe — who form a significant portion of China’s luxury furniture clientele — are being strongly advised to follow proper procedures to avoid delays, penalties, or even blacklisting.
