11.30am | Government address: China’s tight regulation on scrap metals and e-scrap imports
Eager to become the world's workshop, but wary of becoming its trash bin along the way, China is laying plans for stricter regulation of the scrap industry. This session provides a review on the legislations governing China's metals recycling industry and the status of inspection and quarantine management of imported scrap and e-scrap. This session is for recyclers who want to tap on the enormous opportunity presented by the world’s largest market and also for metals producers to understand the restrictions in importing scrap metals. |

Post-conference masterclass: Wednesday, 5 November 2008 (9am - 5pm)
|
| Tackling scrap import legislations and regulations in China |
“China is expected to re-implement a 17 percent value-added tax on all scrap recyclers in 2008” sources from The Economic Times. Value-added tax and tariff are constantly an issue with many scrap recyclers. Some international exporters are also unclear that the import procedure entering Chinese border may face other requirements besides tariff and tax.
This one-day masterclass is specially designed to guide you through China’s scrap import legislations and regulations with specific focus on tariffs and non tariffs challenges, inspection procedures, goods declaration practices and documentation issues.
This one-day masterclass will highlight:
- What are the regulations on importing steel scrap, recycled aluminium and copper scrap?
- What kinds of metal objects are prohibited from being imported into China?
- Inspection and quarantine procedures that importers have to be aware of
- What are the impending regulations on e-scraps?
