Analysis of the import process of second-hand textile equipment

The second-hand textile instrument product market is also an important instrument trading market. From the current statistics, the trading volume of second-hand textile instruments should not be underestimated, especially the imported second-hand textile instruments also have a certain impact on the domestic textile instrument market. At the same time, some available second-hand textile instruments in China are also exported or transferred to other underdeveloped areas for secondary use. At present, the import data of my country's second-hand textile equipment market is huge. Because this market is also 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 804 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 58.28%. From the perspective of imported product categories, the import of looms ranked first, with a total import value of 155 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 82.66%. Since 2011, the total import volume has exceeded knitting machinery for two consecutive months. From January to March 2011, the main countries and regions for textile machinery imports were Germany, Japan, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. The total trade volume of the top five importing countries was 678 million US dollars, an increase of 64.80% over the same period last year, accounting for 84.36% of the total import volume. %. From January to March 2011, among the 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country, 27 provinces and cities had different amounts of imports. Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province, Fujian Province and Shandong Province ranked the top five in total imports, accounting for 84.69% of total imports. The total import volume of Zhejiang Province ranked first with 218 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 67.54%, accounting for 27.14%. The country's import regulations for second-hand mechanical and electrical equipment: 1. China is allowed to import old mechanical and electrical equipment. 2. The number of years for the import of old mechanical and electrical machinery. Because my country is currently adjusting the industrial structure and at the same time encouraging the expansion of production, my country generally encourages the import of old mechanical and electrical machinery that is 5-8 years old. This does not mean that it cannot be imported after more than 8 years, but relatively speaking, the customer should provide more detailed information about the imported equipment when importing the old mechanical and electrical equipment. 3. The declared price of old mechanical and electrical import is based on new machinery. Our company does not recommend that the declared price of old mechanical and electrical machinery is lower than 50% of the price of new machinery. If it is lower than 50%, the customs will probably think that your equipment has been scrapped. No use value. When declaring the price, it is necessary to declare the facts, so that the customs clearance time can be shortened. 4. The customs' evaluation standards for imported mechanical and electrical equipment are divided into: 1. Confirm the price of similar equipment according to the declared price of mechanical and electrical equipment that has been cleared within 3 months according to customs statistics; the import process of second-hand machinery: (1) Do the filing of imported used 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 cannot be done, everything else will be impossible! (In this step, the customer can first provide the detailed information of the machinery to be imported to our company, and can make a record in advance before shipment) (2) After the import record of the used mechanical and electrical products is completed, your company's foreign suppliers will arrange for shipping to the Hong Kong terminal. After our company receives the machine from Hong Kong, we apply to China CCIC to do the Hong Kong CCIC, and CCIC will issue the 'Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate for Imported Used Mechanical and Electrical Products'. (3) After passing the CCIC, the 'New (Old) 'Import License for Mechanical and Electrical Products' is what we usually call the O Certificate; (4) Then our company arranges a barge to go to the inland port, and then goes to the Commodity Inspection Bureau for inspection and inspection (100% of old mechanical and electrical products need to be inspected), and then Issue the commodity inspection and customs clearance form, and declare to the customs with the commodity inspection and customs clearance form; (5) Finally, it is the customs price review, tax payment form, tax payment, and release. The time required for the import operation of second-hand machinery: A. Commodity inspection filing 10-20 working days B. 5-10 working days for O certificate processing 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.
