The export red line for modified vehicles is tightened! You can't just make changes and send them. Both documents are indispensable. Last month, I chatted with a friend who is doing export work, and he said something. Their company is affiliated with a qualified company to export modified cars. In the past, the operation was very simple-accept a quasi-new car, make some appearance modifications, and you can leave by filling out a form. As a result, license applications for three consecutive batches of goods were rejected in the first half of this year. The reasons are the same: the authenticity certificate of the modification is incomplete, and the vehicle is not included in the announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Three batches of goods are pressed at the port, and the port detention fee is rising day by day, and overseas customers are urging it every day. In the end, they had to pull the car back and treat it as an ordinary second-hand car, losing more than 200,000 yuan in one order. This is not an exception. In November last year, the four departments jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Export Management of Used Cars, which was officially implemented on January 1 this year. The threshold of the modified car exit was completely raised.

Modified car exports, now according to the new vehicle management

Many people have not yet figured out a key change-vehicles exported under the name of modified vehicles are now managed as new vehicles. What does that mean? In the past, everyone understood that the "modified car export" was to accept a used car, surround it, change the wheel hub, affix a film, and then slightly upgrade the configuration and leave. Now this road is basically blocked. The New Deal has clarified two hard levers: first, proof of authenticity of the modification. Enterprises must accurately fill in the vehicle chassis brand, modified vehicle brand, vehicle model and other information, and submit materials proving the authenticity of the modification. If the materials are incomplete, the license will be directly rejected. Second, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced and national compulsory product certification. Similar modified vehicle products must be included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Announcement on Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" and have effective national compulsory product certification. Both are indispensable, and none will work. The Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the General Administration of Customs will also closely monitor abnormal conditions in all aspects of the export of modified vehicles and increase inspections and penalties. You can't pass by just dealing with it casually.

What exactly do the two documents want?

What specific materials should I submit? According to the work guidelines issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the following six materials must be submitted to apply for an export license for a modified vehicle: description of the modification point-description of the product status before and after modification, focusing on the modification part, including detailed description of the modification content and related photos, and comparative photos of the front, left front, front side and tail of the vehicle before and after modification. Comparative photos of vehicle nameplates before and after modification-the nameplates of the chassis and the modified vehicle should clearly reflect all the contents on the nameplates. Relevant purchase agreement-the purchase agreement or contract signed by the modified vehicle manufacturer when purchasing export vehicle chassis and special devices, including invoices. The purchase quantity must match the export quantity. Product announcement parameter page--The product parameter page in the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. National compulsory product certification certificate. Certificate of compliance with the access requirements of the export destination country-Certification certificate and test report that the modified vehicle meets the access requirements of the export destination country. See here you should understand-this is not just to find a random modification factory can do things. The refitting factory itself must have an announcement and certification in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Only when you change the car can you get the license.

The affiliated company is experiencing mass accidents

Before the new policy, many small and medium-sized car dealers took the route of attachment_they did not have export qualification, hanging under a qualified enterprise to do modified car export. Simple operation and low cost, making it a gray area in the industry. After the New Deal, this game is extremely risky. The export of modified vehicles requires modified production enterprises to have modified production capabilities that are commensurate with the export volume. Local commercial authorities must conduct investigations on local modified vehicle production enterprises. Most of the "modification factories" that are affiliated with do not have their own announcements and certifications at all. Once they are checked, the licenses will be directly rejected. What's even worse is that the New Deal has established a dynamic management and exit mechanism for enterprises, and conducts daily supervision against the "Negative List of Untrustworthy Acts in Used Car Export". Acts such as forging certificates and failing to perform after-sales responsibilities will be included in supervision. Bad faith can lead to the suspension or even cancellation of export qualifications. If something goes wrong with the affiliated company, the owner who is affiliated will also be unlucky.

What should we do now?

First, don't think about "making any changes and leaving". The new policy clearly prohibits the export of simple decoration of ordinary passenger cars in the name of modification-encirclement, wheel hub, and film are not real modifications. Fake modifications and non-modifications were investigated and punished, and export qualifications were directly cancelled. Second, confirm whether your modification partner has any announcement and 3C certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. These two things are indispensable. If not, replace them as soon as possible. Third, materials must be prepared in advance, so don't wait until the car arrives at the port to remember it. Modification point descriptions, comparison photos, purchase agreements, announcement parameter pages, certification certificates-six materials are indispensable. Every item requires time to prepare, and it is too late to study. Fourth, the linked model is too risky, so it is recommended to establish your own compliant export channel as soon as possible. After the New Deal, the costs and risks of affiliation are rising rapidly. In the long run, you will either get your own qualifications or find a truly compliant platform to cooperate.

written in the end

The dividend period for modified cars exported to this track is over. The era of making money by relying on poor information and gray operations is over. The core logic of the New Deal is simple-plug all loopholes in the name of modification and export of new cars. This is not aimed at anyone, but an inevitable step towards formalization of the industry. What remains can only be companies with real modification capabilities and complete compliance materials. Those who rely on affiliation and deception will be cleared out sooner or later. The cost of compliance has indeed increased, but there are fewer players who comply. If you calculate the accounts clearly and prepare all the materials, this business can still be done.
