Solemn Statement on Strictly Prohibiting the Illegal Online Sale of Limin (Huanglong) Brand Pesticide Products and Safeguarding Market Order

　To All Distributors and Retailers:

Yancheng Limin Chemical Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Limin Company) is a high-tech agrochemical enterprise headquartered in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. The company's ‘Huanglong’ brand trademark holds the status of ‘China Well-Known Trademark’. Company Address: West End of Weiyi Road, Aoyang Industrial Park, Funing District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province; Office Address: 21st-22nd Floors, Jinhang Fortune Building, 988 Luming Road, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province; Telephone: (0515) 88719678 / 88719481; Website: www.chinapesticides.com.

　　Recently, our company has received reports from distributors indicating that our (Huanglong) brand pesticide products are being sold in violation of regulations on multiple e-commerce platforms (such as Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD.com, etc.). Our investigation has revealed that numerous sellers are marketing our Limin (Huanglong) series products on various online sales platforms, using our company's brand for promotion, displaying product packaging as sales covers, and even selling expired goods. Such practices severely mislead and deceive consumers, creating unfair competition within the industry and significantly undermining the market sales order of our products.

　　To safeguard the legitimate interests of our distributors and retailers, uphold our brand image and market order, and protect the vital interests of growers, our company will rigorously combat the unauthorised sale of our products on all e-commerce platforms. In light of the above, our company hereby solemnly declares:

　　1. No online seller has received authorisation from our company for online product sales, nor has our company authorised any e-commerce platform to sell our products.

　　2. Our company does not guarantee the quality or safety of products sold online.

3. Our company will instruct legal counsel to issue formal inquiries to all online e-commerce platforms selling our products. This will involve investigating the credentials and information of sellers on these platforms, and requiring all platforms selling our products to take necessary measures to cease the sales activities of non-compliant sellers.

　　We hereby request all distributors, retailers, partners, and customers to promptly report any unauthorised online sales of our products to our company and relevant regulatory authorities. We shall pursue all legal avenues to hold unlawful sellers and sales personnel accountable. We urge all partners to join us in safeguarding our legitimate rights and interests, and in maintaining order within our sales market.

This declaration is hereby issued. This statement remains valid indefinitely.
