In one operation, spot-checks by the FDA and the U.S. Customs Service found that 88 percent of drugs imported into the country by mail or courier violated federal safety standards in some way.
Imports rose 14.1 percent from the 5 percent for the combined January-February period, customs data showed Wednesday, suggesting Chinese manufacturers and consumers might be buying more.
All told, China exports rose by more than 15 percent in May versus the same period last year, the General Administration of Customs said Sunday from Beijing.
