Pre-shipment Inspection - Used Machinery

To ensure the safety of imported secondhand machinery, prevent toxic and hazardous substances passing the borders and prevent fraud, the relevant laws and regulations of China on imported goods should be applied. A qualified third-party inspection agency must inspect the secondhand machines before shipment. The European CCIC offices have this qualification for inspection and appraisal of secondhand machinery which are exported to China.

The inspection will be based on Chinese laws, administrative regulations and relevant technical specifications to ensure that all the safety, health and environmental protection standards are met before shipment. CCIC shall examine product names, specifications, manufacturers, current condition and many other specifications of the machinery. The pre-shipment certificate for secondhand machinery is a required document for Chinese Customs clearance.
