Tackling scrap import legislations and regulations in China
Value-added tax and tariff are constantly an issue with many scrap recyclers. There is also a lack of clarity with regards to China import procedure. 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.
Agenda:
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?
