Questions about this service
Can used machinery be imported into China?
Yes, most used mechanical and electrical equipment can be imported. Equipment on the list requiring pre-shipment inspection must be inspected at origin before loading, and some categories are restricted. We check your equipment list against the current rules before you commit.
How is duty calculated on used equipment?
Duty and VAT are based on the customs value (normally the CIF transaction price). For used equipment customs may review whether the price is reasonable, so an inspection report, photos and the purchase contract help the valuation go smoothly.
Do you handle complete production lines?
Yes. We plan crate-by-crate packing lists, split shipments over several vessels where needed and keep one declaration logic so the line can be cleared and reassembled in the right order.
