From January 1, 2021, the " National VI" emission standard is officially implemented. Currently, no domestic or imported National V models are allowed to be sold on the market. National V products still in circulation in the market Basically, they are all stock products that have been sold under the status of “used cars” on the license plate.
Since the beginning of 2021, the various good signals released from the national level are sorted according to the time sequence of 2021:
January 6th: Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Commerce
Beginning in 2021, Tianjin is the country’s largest distribution center for parallel import sales and trade. The Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Commerce has issued a notice on key business tasks for 2021, in which Article 12 "Strives to stabilize basic foreign trade "Focus on the promotion of services in key areas, and promote the solution of a series of issues such as the financing of the frozen product import supply chain, the financing of foreign comprehensive service enterprises, and the parallel import automobile national six standards."
Focus: From this sentence, it can be seen that the promotion of the six standards of parallel importing countries has become one of the key tasks of the Tianjin Ministry of Commerce work in the new year.
February 2021 , according to reliable sources, the General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China held a meeting. All major ministries and commissions participated to discuss the issue of detention in parallel imports. The main two resolutions were:
1. The Ministry of Environmental Protection agreed Exempt from OBD test
2. The PN value of vehicles arriving at Hong Kong on December 31, 2020 is based on the 12th power of 6*10,For those arriving in Hong Kong after January 1, according to the 11th power of 6*10
The State Council urges the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Environmental Protection to issue detailed rules as soon as possible.
The meeting called for further improving the level of trade facilitation of parallel imports of automobiles, strengthening the quality control of parallel imported automobile products, standardizing the registration and management of parallel imports, strengthening the supervision and management of pilot enterprises, and effectively strengthening the organization and implementation. We will work with relevant departments to guide relevant regions to implement opinions and relevant policies and measures to promote the continuous and standardized development of parallel automobile imports.
February 9th: Ministry of Commerce
February 9th, 2021, the Ministry of Commerce issued "The 2021 Commercial Field Promotion of Automobile Consumption Work Guidelines and the Notice of Some Local Experiences and Practices" Among them, the fourth article is "on improving the management of parallel imports of automobiles":
. Key points: This article in the notice clarifies the basic attitude of the Ministry of Commerce towards the " parallel import car" industry , That is, the environmental protection information disclosure policy must be implemented, and the parallel import business must promote sustainable development.
February 10: Ministry of Environmental Protection
On February 10, 2021, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the "Regarding the Solicitation of National Eco-Environmental Standards" Technical Guidelines for the Development of National Mobile Source Air Pollutant Emission Standards (Draft for Solicitation of Comments) ) "Notice of Opinion", the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued such a notice to solicit opinions from various departments on the eve of the formulation of the technical guidelines. This is a very good signal for the parallel import industry that has been sealed by the National VI.
In this notice, the Ministry of Environmental Protection mentioned "consideration factors for formulating standard technical routes". Two of these factors are crucial for parallel imports- "optimize industrial structure" and "learn from foreign laws and regulations" .
Focus: In the interpretation of these two articles, the notice clearly mentions that "the overall impact of the industry development master plan and environmental management requirements should be considered" and "the convenience of international trade should be fully considered In accordance with the rules of the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, we should try our best to be in line with international regulations. When our country’s standards are in a relatively backward state, we should learn from foreign regulations. Although there is no explicit mention of the parallel import industry, this provides a trend for the formulation of the six specific implementation guidelines for parallel importing countries.
With the full start of the National VI era in 2021, almost all practitioners in the parallel import industry are in a state of suspension. In fact, parallel imported cars are both at the national level and at the consumer level. It is very meaningful and indispensable.
From the national and industry level: Parallel imports account for more than 15% of the annual car imports. It fills the gap of certain classic models in the domestic market. The relatively low price of parallel imports also affects the price of Chinese cars. Plays a role of checks and balances. If the scale of the 150 billion parallel import industry ceases to exist, the monopoly market price of Chinese-regulated cars will soar, and there will be more than 100,000 related employees facing unemployment or re-choosing jobs, which will have a great impact on the local economy and taxation. .
From a consumer perspective: Parallel imports bring many models that are not available in the Chinese market, allowing consumers to choose more abundantly and diversely, especially for the models with parallel imported versions at the price of the standard Trends tend to decline. Therefore, even if many people do not know about parallel imported cars, it is precisely because of the existence of parallel imported cars that they have played a role in checking and balancing the prices of Chinese regulations to a certain extent, so that all the people can enjoy the price dividend invisibly.
Now with the arrival of the spring of 2021,We have also seen many good signals released from the national level, which also means that the ice melting time of the parallel import industry is getting closer and closer. We believe that after the warmth of spring, everything will be clearer!
