This study explores the specific commercial and legal risks in the international textile trade, which stem from the industry's complex technical specifications, chemical processing, and global supply chains. The traded goods in the textile sector involve a wide range of materials, from natural fibers like Cotton and Wool to synthetic fibers such as polyester. The quality assessment of these products depends not only on subjective aesthetics but more critically on objective technical indicators, including Yarn count, fabric weight (GSM), and color fastness in Dyeing. Through a corpus analysis of 150 trade contracts and a survey of 85 industry experts, this research identifies the ambiguity of technical terminology in contracts as the primary cause of disputes. Linguistic precision is especially crucial in clauses related to quality, inspection, intellectual property, and the increasingly important certifications for Sustainable Development, such as those for organic cotton and recycled fibers. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a risk management framework centered on establishing a standardized system of technical terminology (e.g., referencing AATCC/ISO standards), enhancing contract review across the entire supply chain from raw material procurement to finished product delivery, and adopting dispute resolution mechanisms suited to the characteristics of Textile Technology. This framework aims to provide practical guidance for the Textile Industry, enabling effective risk management throughout the entire processing and trade cycle—from Fiber Products to final Textile Products—through the precise application of legal and technical language.
