Analysis of Import Process of Second-hand Textile Instruments

The second-hand textile instrument product market is also an important instrument trading market compared to the new product market. According to the current statistics, the transaction volume of second-hand textile instruments should not be underestimated. In particular, imported second-hand textile instruments have a certain impact on the domestic textile instrument market. At the same time, some available domestic used textile instruments are also exported or transferred to other underdeveloped areas for secondary use. At present, my country's second-hand textile equipment market has huge import data, and this market is ignored by many people. This article will focus on the investigation and analysis of the import and export of second-hand textile equipment. According to customs statistics, from January to March 2011, my country imported textile machinery from 42 countries and regions, with a total import value of US$804 million, an increase of 58.28% year-on-year. In terms of categories of imported products, loom imports ranked first, with a total import value of US$155 million, an increase of 82.66% year-on-year. Imports of looms accounted for 19.24% of total imports, accounting for a year-on-year increase of 2.61%. Since 2011, the total import volume has exceeded that of knitting machinery for two consecutive months. From January to March 2011, the main countries and regions that imported textile machinery were Germany, Japan, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. The total trade volume of the top five importing countries was US$678 million, a year-on-year increase of 64.80%, accounting for 84.36 of the total imports. %. From January to March 2011, 27 of the 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country had different quantities of imports. Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, and Shandong Province rank among the top five in total imports, accounting for 84.69% of total imports. Zhejiang Province ranked first in total imports of US$218 million, an increase of 67.54% year-on-year, accounting for 27.14%. National regulations on the import of second-hand electromechanical equipment: 1. China is allowed to import old electromechanical equipment. 2. Regarding the age limit of the old mechanical and electrical imports Because our country is currently adjusting its industrial structure and at the same time encouraging expansion of production, our country generally encourages imports of old machinery and electrical appliances that are 5-8 years old. This is not to say that it cannot be imported for more than 8 years, but relatively speaking, the customer is required to provide more detailed information about the import of this batch of equipment during the declaration of the import of the old machinery. 3. The declared price of imported machinery and equipment is based on the new machinery. We do not recommend that the declared price of the old machinery and machinery is less than 50% of the price of the new machinery. If it is less than 50%, the customs may think that your equipment has been scrapped. There is no use value. When declaring prices, the facts must be declared so that the time for customs clearance can be shortened. 4. The customs price evaluation criteria for imported mechanical and electrical equipment are divided into: 1. Confirm the price of similar equipment based on the declared price of mechanical and electrical equipment cleared within 3 months according to customs statistics; the import process of second-hand machinery: (1) Filing of imported old mechanical and electrical products : This is the first step when importing old mechanical and electrical equipment, and it is also a very important link. If this can't be done, nothing else can be discussed! (At this step, customers can provide our company with detailed information about the machinery that needs to be imported, and they can file in advance before shipment) (2) After the old mechanical and electrical products are imported, the foreign supplier of your company will arrange for sea transportation to the Hong Kong terminal. After receiving the machine from Hong Kong, our company applied to the China Inspection Company for Hong Kong inspection, and the inspection company issued the 'Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate for Imported Used Mechanical and Electrical Products'. (3) After passing the inspection, the 'New (Old)' The Import Permit for Mechanical and Electrical Products is what we usually call the O certificate; (4) Next, our company arranges for barges to go to inland ports, and then to the Commodity Inspection Bureau for inspection and inspection (100% of used mechanical and electrical products need to be inspected), and then The commodity inspection clearance form is issued, and the declaration can be made to the customs with the commodity inspection clearance form; (5) Finally, the customs review price, tax bill, tax payment, and release. The time required for the import operation of second-hand machinery: A. Commodity inspection filing 10-20 working days B, O certificate processing 5-10 working days C, Hong Kong pre-shipment inspection: 3-4 working days D, Hong Kong barge Shatian Port: 3 working days E, customs declaration, price review, customs clearance: 10 working days F , Delivery: the time required depends on the actual length of the journey.

What is the Use of Air Permeability Tester?
An air permeability tester measures how easily air passes through textiles, nonwovens, and other materials, directly impacting comfort (heat/moisture management) and performance (wind resistance, filtration). This guide explains how digital testers work using pressurized airflow, details step-by-step testing procedures (including nozzle selection), and covers key applications in apparel, medical, automotive, and industrial sectors. Explore compliant standards (ISO 9237, ASTM D737, GB/T 5453) and
What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
What Are the Test Methods for Fabric Bursting Strength?
Fabric bursting strength measures resistance to rupture under concentrated load. Three primary test methods are used:

Why Is Shoe Slip Resistance Tester Important for Footwear Safety?
Slip resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators for modern footwear, especially safety shoes used in industrial and high-risk working environments. Slip and fall accidents frequently occur on wet or smooth surfaces, posing serious risks to workers and consumers. To prevent such accidents and improve product safety, footwear manufacturers widely use professional testing equipment such as Shoe Slip Resistance Tester and Footwear Slip Testing Machine. These devices simulate real walking conditions to measure the coefficient of friction between the shoe sole and various surfaces. This article explores the working principle, features, applications, and industry significance of shoe slip safety tester, explaining why accurate slip resistance testing is essential for footwear safety, product development, quality control, and compliance with international standards.
