Import of used mechanical and electrical products must be completed

Not long ago, an enterprise in Yangzhou used a set of idle equipment imported from the United States nine years ago to exchange 22 old looms for Canada. When the procuratorial staff went to the Yangzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to handle the “Customs Clearance Form for Entry Goods,” they could not provide the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. The certification materials issued by the old mechanical and electrical products resulted in the detention of more than a dozen containers at the port, causing a certain amount of economic losses.

The old looms are the products that the country expressly listed in the Import Catalogue of Key Old Machinery and Electronic Products. To import such old looms, in addition to providing inspection and quarantine departments with general import inspection materials, they must also provide the "import license" and "certification of imported mechanical and electrical products" issued by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, which indicate old products. "Import and export registration form for mechanical and electrical products" can be handled by the "Inbound Customs Clearance Form" to the inspection and quarantine institution, and the customs shall check and release the above four materials.

In recent years, many companies have been tempted by "foreign merchants to provide free", "free to provide", low prices and other temptations, and constantly import old machinery and electronic products from abroad. However, little is known about what certification materials must be provided for importing used mechanical and electronic products. In fact, the AQSIQ, the General Administration of Customs, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have jointly issued documents to strengthen the supervision and inspection and quarantine of imported used mechanical and electronic products to maintain the normal market order, effectively protect the environment, safeguard people's health and ensure production safety. . Therefore, we hereby remind enterprises to pay attention to the following points when importing used mechanical and electronic products:

1. For old mechanical and electronic products that are included in the Import Catalogue of Key Old Machinery and Electronic Products, quotas, specific and centralized registration management, the port inspection and quarantine institutions shall always be issued with the “Quota Product Certificate” and “Old Product” issued by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. "Import license", "certificate of import of mechanical and electrical products" and "import registration form of mechanical and electrical products" apply for "customs clearance for entry goods".

Second, domestic enterprises import old mechanical and electrical products other than the products listed in the above four categories, and the port inspection and quarantine authorities apply for the "import registration form of mechanical and electrical products" issued by the mechanical and electrical offices of various regions and departments and marked as old ones. Customs clearance.

3. For foreign-invested enterprises that import private used mechanical and electronic products other than the products listed in the above catalogue within the total investment amount, the port inspection and quarantine agency shall handle the "Inbound Customs Clearance Form" with the list of imported equipment approved by the competent foreign trade authorities.
