AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/17 Report--

Since July 1, 2020, the country has entered the era of national six emission standards, and light vehicles with five emission standards in producing countries are prohibited, while imported light vehicles should also meet the sixth national emission standards. However, the problems troubling parallel imported car enterprises have not been solved so far, resulting in the customs clearance of six models in parallel importing countries can not be sold.

According to the relevant requirements of the national authorities, an international automobile city in Tianjin Free Trade Zone is actively carrying out tests on the sixth national emission standards, and the first batch of vehicles are scheduled to be put on the market in May, according to the official Weibo release of Tianjin Government Affairs Information. It means that the market for parallel imported models is expected to pick up.

According to the news released, the parallel imported cars stored in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone account for more than 70% of the country's total. In mid-March this year, the relevant state departments officially issued a notice to report the information on vehicles stranded in Hong Kong. The development of parallel imported automobile industry pressed the "resume key". "after receiving the notice, we immediately informed all pilot enterprises to count the information of vehicles stranded in Hong Kong in accordance with the requirements, and arrange for special personnel to dock, so as to solve the problems encountered in the process of filling in the data in a timely manner. At the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy, completeness and logicality of the reported data, we have also organized a special meeting on the work of vehicles stranded in Hong Kong to compare different caliber data of pilot enterprises, warehousing enterprises, customs brokers, and so on. " Jiang Shengrong, head of the Trade and Investment Department of the Commerce Bureau of Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, introduced. At present, nearly 10 models from 3 enterprises in Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone are on-line for testing. The reporter learned in the interview that, as a leading enterprise in the bonded area participating in the whole industry chain of parallel imported cars, the International Automobile City has now completed more than 10 3C certificates of the sixth national standard for the record. "at present, we have sent the relevant vehicles under the 3C certificate to the laboratory to carry out relevant tests, some models are in the process of Ⅰ-Ⅶ test, and some models are in the pre-preparation of 3000 km running-in test." Zhang Li, general manager of the International Automobile City, said. The relevant person in charge of the Commercial Bureau of the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone said that it will pay close attention to the developments of the relevant state departments to help enterprises make a smooth transition to the sixth national environmental protection stage. at the same time, they will also make full use of the regional policy of special customs supervision and the advantages of a pilot free trade zone to extend the industrial chain, introduce innovation momentum, improve the level of industrial services, and promote high-quality development.

Reviewing the performance of imported cars in 2020, data from the China Automobile Association show that a total of 933000 domestic vehicles were imported in 2020, down 11.4% from the same period last year, while vehicle imports totaled US $46.7 billion, down 4.2% from the same period last year.

Throughout the passenger car market last year, even though the entire market was seriously affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, luxury cars have rebounded since March this year and achieved year-on-year growth in May. This also includes many luxury imported models. Therefore, the decline of imported models in 2020 is mainly restrained by the policy, which reflects that the parallel imported automobile industry has been seriously affected because it is unable to carry out the sixth national environmental protection test.

However, under the influence of continuous positive signals from the government, the parallel imported car industry will once again usher in the dawn after a brief panic. Therefore, with the landing and implementation of more policies, the spring of the parallel imported car industry may return.
