China's Guangdong province, a leading toy exporter of the nation, reported a double-digital decline in foreign sales of such products in the first 11 months of this year.

The total included $2.13 billion worth to the United States, down 14.9 percent, and $1.22 billion worth to the European Union, down 10.6 percent. But the province's toy exports to ASEAN members grew 67.7 percent to $240 million worth.
The local customs said toy exporters faced a lukewarm demand from abroad, trade barriers in the name of environmental protection, and price hikes of raw materials.
