Second, the old equipment import process.
1.Pre-shipment inspection of used equipment. According to the definition of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China, used mechanical and electrical products refer to mechanical and electrical products with the following characteristics: (1) those that have been used (excluding pre-use testing and debugging equipment) and still have basic functions and certain use value; (2) It has not been used, but it has exceeded the quality assurance period (non-warranty period); (3) It has not been used, but it has been stored for too long, and the parts have obvious physical loss; (4) Old mechanical and electrical products made of new parts, within the period of customs supervision (5) the implementation of the compulsory product certification system or must be approved (approved) before they can be imported. Therefore, according to the above definition, it can be seen that the old mechanical and electrical products referred to here actually belong to the scope of quasi-new machines. In view of the concept of "quasi-new machine" in European countries, some domestic second-hand equipment importers who are more expert in the United States, Japan, South Korea, India and other countries have even followed this model when carrying out second-hand equipment import business. Of course, this is a higher-level operation. If it is imported in large quantities of used equipment, it is necessary to carry out pre-shipment inspection of used mechanical and electrical products. This inspection may take up to 10 business days prior to the actual shipment. If it is one or several units, there is generally no need for pre-shipment inspection.
2.Handle the import of used equipment for the record. This process takes a long time, usually around 10 working days. This step can be omitted if the used equipment importer already has import and export rights. If you do not have the right to import and export, you need to find a company with the right to import and export. During this process, the importer of used equipment needs to provide some basic information, including equipment lists, invoices, contracts, etc. **The company will conduct commodity inspection and filing based on the information provided by the second-hand equipment importer.
3.Apply for an import licence (if regulatory conditions are available). This step also takes a long time, usually around 5 working days. To apply for an import license, you need to provide the following information: application form, used equipment**, list of equipment, description of use, etc. If the importer of second-hand equipment already has the right to import and export, he can apply for an import license on his own; If you do not have the right to import and export, you need to find a company with the right to import and export.
4.Inspection, customs declaration, tax payment, release. After completing the above steps, you can proceed to the formal inspection declaration, customs declaration, tax payment, and release process. This process usually takes around 3-5 business days. When paying taxes, used equipment importers are required to pay customs duties and VAT. If the importer of second-hand equipment does not have the right to import and export, it needs to find a company with the right to import and export to pay taxes. After release, the used equipment importer can pick up the equipment.
3. Precautions.
1.When importing second-hand equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the quality, specifications, and models of the goods meet the requirements of the contract or agreement, and confirm the terms and conditions such as the best quality, payment method, and delivery date. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the laws, regulations and policies of the destination, as well as whether it is necessary to carry out environmental protection testing and other aspects.
2.When importing second-hand equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the quantity, weight, and volume of the goods meet the transportation requirements, and choose the appropriate transportation method and transportation route. At the same time, it is necessary to consider aspects such as the insurance of the goods and compensation for damages.
