BEIJING, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Preliminary findings showed

that PVH Corp ( PVH ), the parent company of Calvin Klein and

Tommy Hilfiger, engaged in "improper" conduct related to the

Xinjiang region, China's commerce ministry said on Thursday,

without elaborating.

The ministry plans to summon PVH in the near future, it said

in a statement.

In September, China announced an investigation into PVH for

suspected violations of market trading principles regarding

Xinjiang-related products.
