1) mechanical and electrical products that have been used and still have basic functions and certain use value.

2) Mechanical and electrical products that have not been used but have been stored for too long and have exceeded the quality guarantee period.

3) Mechanical and electrical products that have not been used but have been stored for a long time, resulting in obvious shape loss of parts.

4) Mechanical and electrical products with mixed old and new components

5) Large second-hand equipment

2. Which machinery and equipment are allowed to be imported and which are not?

For used mechanical and electrical products that are not allowed to be imported, see: (Catalogue of used mechanical and electrical products imported without filing and scope of application)

The used mechanical and electrical products that are allowed to be imported are as follows: (Catalogue and scope of use of the first batch of imported used mechanical and electrical products with filing conditions)

For the used mechanical and electrical products allowed to be imported, see: (Catalogue of Used Mechanical and Electrical Products Imported for the Record)

3. General procedures for importing used mechanical and electrical products:

1) Determine the commodity code of used mechanical and electrical products.

2) Determine the regulatory conditions for used mechanical and electrical products.

3) Determine whether the waste mechanical and electrical products belong to compulsory certification (3C certification).

4) Determine the commodities filed by the relevant commodity inspection authorities.

4. Documents required for importing used mechanical and electrical equipment:

Import statutory inspection

Import mechanical and electrical license (old)

C Pre-shipment inspection certificate for imported used mechanical and electrical products (China's four major foreign commodity inspection authorities are in Japan, Hongkong, North America and Europe respectively).

Application Form for Filing Used Mechanical and Electrical Products Imported by Import Port Quarantine Bureau

E If the imported machine is a printing machine, you need to apply for a printing business license at the National Press Office.

F. If the product tax number involves national compulsory certification, a 3C certificate is required.

G If the importing country is the United States, Japan, South Korea, the European Union and other countries, IPPC (Wood Packaging Fumigation Certificate) is also required.

5. The specific operation of import customs clearance of second-hand mechanical and electrical products is as follows. Take the clearance of milling machine imported by our company on behalf of XX Company as an example:

First of all, XX Company will negotiate with overseas suppliers about machinery and equipment. XX company will remit money abroad, and then overseas suppliers will arrange delivery and send it to the receiving place of our Hong Kong company. After receiving the machinery from Hong Kong, our company will go through the relevant formalities and approvals (including: import mechanical and electrical license > pre-shipment inspection certificate for imported used mechanical and electrical products) for importing used mechanical and electrical products. The application for filing the imported used mechanical and electrical products will be handled by the import port quarantine bureau, and the customs declaration and inspection will be made. After contacting the commodity inspection, the machinery will be transported to our warehouse. The personnel of XX Company will come to inspect the goods and pay for them, and then arrange vehicles to transport the machines to the receiving place of XX Company.

6. Precautions:

First, check that the HS code of the milling machine is 84595900, the tariff is 15%, the value-added tax is 17%, and the comprehensive tax rate is 0.3455 (second-hand machinery countries charge tariffs and value-added tax according to a certain proportion of the price of new machines of the same type or similar type).

Two: Why do you want to send the goods to Hong Kong? Some friends will ask. The answer is as follows: (1) Before the import of used machines, the pre-shipment inspection and quarantine certificate of used mechanical and electrical products should be handled. China AQSIQ has four authorized companies abroad: Europe, North America, Japan and Hongkong. The inspection fees abroad are much higher than those in Hong Kong. (2) If there are problems during customs clearance. Also because Hong Kong is close to Shenzhen. The problem can be solved in time. (3) Hong Kong is an international free trade port. Except for consumer goods such as tobacco and alcohol, machinery entering Hong Kong is duty-free, so there is no need to worry about paying high taxes.

Three: The goods sent directly to Shenzhen are imported without a license. (Special attention)

The specific charges for customs clearance are as follows: customs machinery value-added tax+Hong Kong customs declaration fee+domestic customs declaration and inspection fee+Hong Kong-domestic transportation fee+used electromechanical approval and certification fee+agency fee+other fees.

4. The import safety of instruments is high. Formal customs declaration, of course, security is absolutely guaranteed.

Hong kong imports: molds, printing machines, photocopiers, game machines,

Mounter, CNC machine tool, excavator, all kinds of machines.

Why is it so difficult to import old equipment? Where are the difficulties and difficulties? Many enterprises mistakenly believe that old equipment cannot be imported at all, and the state prohibits the import of old equipment. There are many people who hold this view.

The reason for this is the following：

1 unilaterally thinks that the state only encourages exports and restricts imports. Enterprises or individuals in China are never allowed to import old foreign equipment, but if they do, they can only import new high-tech equipment and machinery from abroad.

One-sided view that the import tax on used equipment is definitely high, and it is not cost-effective to pay other taxes besides customs duties and value-added tax. It is better to spend more money on two or three domestic equipment than to introduce foreign old equipment with high technology content.

One-sided thought that the import procedures of old equipment were too troublesome and it was too difficult to deal with many departments, so they gave up the plan;

Some enterprise customs declarers have low quality and poor ability. They have been engaged in customs declaration for many years, but their business is too simple and single. They have never dealt with a slightly difficult business. They were afraid of accidents and risks, so they were fired by their bosses, thus misleading business leaders.

There are also some informal import and export companies in the market that help enterprises solve temporary problems through informal operation methods, so they give enterprises an illusion that old equipment is simple to operate and cost-effective, but it is not. The actual case in 2007 is a bloody lesson. The enterprises that took this road before suffered big losses this year, which can be said to be wiped out by the whole army.

At the same time, there are too few import and export companies with strength and scale that can really operate the conventional import of old equipment in the market, which directly leads to the situation that demand exceeds supply and the market is blind. The above is my personal analysis of the current situation of old equipment import.

According to my years of experience in importing used equipment, the related operations of importing used equipment are summarized as follows:

1) Old equipment can never be imported, but it can be imported completely. When importing, we must find a professional and large-scale import and export company as an agent, and we must not blindly follow;

2) The operation process of importing old equipment is similar to that of importing new equipment, and customs duties and value-added tax are paid. Didn't say there was additional tax to pay. Even according to the enterprise's own situation, the state tax can be reduced or exempted;

3) Don't believe in the so-called all-inclusive operation mode, that is, Hong Kong delivery, Chinese mainland delivery, and how much a container is all-inclusive. If you are evasive and vague on technical issues, you can't tell the import and export companies why they can't provide formal VAT tax stamps, and warn the import companies to think twice, don't be greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses;

4) When importing used equipment, the importing enterprise must provide true and complete information in strict accordance with the requirements of the import and export company, and shall not change or modify the true information at will according to its own subjective will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and must do so under the guidance of the import and export company;

Attached to the old equipment import operation flow:

First of all, we must find out the Chinese name and purpose, then find out the customs code and check the supervision situation (the information on the customs code may not be the latest, so it is best to check whether it is necessary to apply for an import license on the China International Bidding Network, whether it is done locally or by the Ministry of Commerce);

At the same time, file with the commodity inspection bureau where the importer is located, and then file with the provincial bureau after sealing, and the rest will be handled by the relevant personnel of the provincial bureau for you;

Notify foreign countries to send the goods to Hong Kong. Pre-shipment inspection is also called intermediate inspection. There are two kinds: one is to do intermediate inspection in Hong Kong, and then send the goods to the dock designated by the import company for customs clearance after the intermediate inspection is OK; Or, contact China Inspection Company to do China inspection abroad. Of course, the cost of inspection in China is similar to that in Hongkong. It's just the air tickets and travel expenses for Chinese inspectors to go to foreign factories for inspection, because you will never send the equipment to the place where Chinese inspectors are doing Chinese inspection. In this way, after the inspection is OK, the goods can be directly sent to the dock designated by the customs clearance company for customs clearance;

After the goods arrive at the dock, the customs clearance company or our company will go to the Dongguan Commodity Inspection Bureau where the port is located (near the sports intersection, a few minutes' drive) for filing and inspection. Dongguan Commodity Inspection Bureau will open an internal contact list and arrange relevant personnel to inspect the goods in the dock office. Basically, the old equipment will be 100% inspected.

After the commodity inspection is OK, go to the relevant window of the commodity inspection bureau to make a customs clearance form (on the second floor), and the customs declarer can declare to the customs with the customs clearance form;

Then the customs examines the bill and evaluates the value of the goods, that is, the price is examined by the experts of the bill examination center, not by the customs where the port is located, such as Shatian Wharf, but by the experts of Huangpu Customs. In other words, the value of the goods is determined by the customs, not by our Tianhaocheng Company. The general customs price will be greater than or equal to the purchase price and less than the market price; Therefore, if any company says that it can determine the customs price, there are only two possibilities. First, he is unprofessional, which shows that he does not understand customs law; Second, it shows that he is deliberately deceiving you because he wants to take your order; Sometimes the customs can't judge the value of the goods, can't issue tax bills immediately, and manufacturers are anxious to get the goods. In this case, it usually takes the form of paying a deposit, which is also called the preliminary tax of customs price. After paying the deposit, you can take the goods; After the customs examines the price, it will return the original deposit to the customs and issue a formal tax bill; Sometimes, taxes will be paid back. If the owner has any objection, it is necessary to provide the original invoice for purchasing new equipment and the invoice for purchasing old machines to the customs for analysis. If it still cannot be solved, it may apply to the customs supervision department for administrative reconsideration. If all the above can be done, the full set of import procedures have been completed, and then we will go to Sha Tin International Terminal to make a single delivery.

The above is my experience in importing old equipment for many years, which should be of great reference value to novices, especially friends who have imported old equipment; If a friend doesn't know the old and new equipment and second-hand machinery when importing them, you can ask the questions you want to know (please provide the specific Chinese name, model, place of origin, manufacturer, factory date, length, width, height, weight, quantity, color and value of the old and new equipment (Dongguan Commodity Inspection Bureau hopes to provide the original factory invoice now), and the front, left and right sides and nameplate of each equipment should have a clear panoramic view.
