Import banned wastes, the domestic stringent environmental protection, followed by price hikes, shortage of tide. However, the policy of plastic recycling particles, there is no clear instructions, which has become the goal of many businessmen.
1, imports of renewable particles according to the general supervision of raw materials
In the process of policy completion, although there is a ban on waste plastics, there is no obvious restriction on plastic recycled pellets, which is a great positive effect on imported pellets. Many plastic enterprises have turned to import recycled pellets from Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.
On May 27, 2014, China Waste Plastics Association proposed a “three uniform” regulatory approach that will allow most of the plastic recycled pellets to be regulated in accordance with the general raw materials and not in accordance with the solid waste management.
The “three unification”, that is, has been made into the primary shape of the goods in accordance with: a unified batch color, uniform particle size, uniform packaging of recycled plastic particles, not in accordance with the regulation of solid waste.
The proposal has been adopted by the Customs Supervision Department and the Department of Environmental Protection Dirt Division. On May 30, the Supervisory Department of the General Administration of Customs sent an urgent document to the Guangdong Branch and its subordinate customs offices to further clarify the import of recycled plastic granules as follows:
1. The primary form of recycled plastic granules made from plastic waste, if the same batch of imported goods have the same color, the same particle size and shape, the same packing and meet the relevant norms and standards of plastic materials or products, Follow solid waste regulation.
2. Supervision process found that recycled plastic particles suspected solid waste, solid waste should be identified according to the property.
2, recycled plastic particles own strong
Large demand. Mr. Huang Chuqi, Executive President of China Waste Plastics Association, said: “By 2017, China imported more than 2 million tons of scrap PE film each year. After the ban, this huge raw material gap will take a long time to replenish.”
Greenhouse film particles, such as PE pipe pull tube demand is relatively large. “At present, the recycled pellets sold to the mainland are mainly PE and PET, about 500 million tons. In addition, the sales volume of PES, PS, ABS and ton bag are very good,” Huang said.
Low price. Ms. Tian, the general manager of Baoding Senao Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd., introduced them as a dealer to import plastic recycled pellets from Southeast Asian countries. The imported type is HDPE, and the recycled plastic pellets are 1,000 RMB cheaper than the new ones.
In line with environmental protection. Waste plastics companies to invest in Southeast Asia to invest and build factories, the production of recycled particles exported to the mainland, is the current direction of a major industry restructuring. Not only make up for the material gap, but also to avoid pollution problems, at the same time you can enjoy the value-added tax-free policy.
3, Imported recycled plastic pellet matters needing attention
Recently, a company because of the uncertainty of imported black plastic particles property was seized Fuzhou Customs, and finally sent to Shenzhen Exit Inspection and Quarantine Inspection Center for Industrial Products Testing Materials Laboratory of renewable raw materials, identification fee solid waste properties.
Therefore, I remind importers in this article, imported recycled particles in addition to meet the “three consistent”, the need to prove that the goods can meet the plastic materials, product specifications or related products norms and standards.
Preferably, during customs clearance, preparing a description of the goods for further use may require the manufacturer to provide relevant test forms for the physical properties of the goods, certifying that the goods meet the contractual requirements of both parties.
At present, there are three solid waste identification agencies in China: Institute of Solid Waste Pollution Control Technology, China Academy of Environmental Sciences, China Customs Laboratory, Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Industrial Products Testing Technology Center for Raw Materials Testing and Verification Laboratory.
Identification of solid waste longer period of time, so to remind businesses, in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the Customs implementation of the enterprises concerned about the issue of the varnish declaration, the customs will be in accordance with the solid waste supervision, please pay attention to the declaration.
