Textile Equipment: Autonomy And Import

In August 31, 2011, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a notice entitled "issue of the catalogue to encourage imports of technology and products (2009 Edition)". The document number is "development and pformation industry [2009] 1926" (hereinafter referred to as the 1926 edition of the 2009 Edition catalogue). Prior to August 20th, the Ministry of finance, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the General Administration of customs, the State Administration of Taxation and the six Department of the State Energy Bureau issued the "adjustment of import tax on major technology equipment".

The two documents relate to the textile machinery equipment. The former encourages import discount, and the latter supports the import tax exemption from the key parts. What is the relationship between foreign imports and independent manufacturing in the field of textile equipment? What is the change of the contents of the two documents compared with the previous policies?

Zhang Huailiang, honorary vice-chairman of the China Textile Engineering Society and director of the academic committee, worked in the textile industry for many years. He has been engaged in the work of textile equipment autonomy and import management for a long time. Before the interview, he was concerned about the two parts.

Imports of or complement each other

The head of a cotton spinning enterprise told the author that if his company was in the new project, if the funds were very abundant, it would first consider the import equipment, but the price performance of some domestic equipment was very high, and the enterprise would also carefully choose after the comprehensive investigation.

Zhang Huailiang said, indeed, from the reflection of textile machinery enterprises and relevant management departments, many equipment can be completely resolved, no need to import, but some textile users believe that imports are always more advanced.

There has been such a contradiction between the supplier and the demand side, which reflects that the leading departments are also two kinds of opinions. No one can convince them, and finally, they often take some compromise measures.

The argument about the use of textile equipment is just like driving a car. At present, so many automobile brands in our country have not yet achieved the level of high-end Mercedes Benz or BMW.

But we can't drive without high-grade Benz and BMW? High-end cars can run 200 kilometers and 250 kilometers an hour, but our road has no chance to drive you to 200 kilometers, the most open is 80~120 kilometers, so domestic cars are enough.

Textile equipment is also the same reason, imported and domestic needs, and over the years policy has not completely reversed to which side, the support for machinery and equipment support, while encouraging imports also encouraged.

In general, policy has always been beneficial to the development of the textile and textile equipment industry, because no one can deny that we are walking on two legs.

It is always necessary to go through this process. In the past, slogans were called "self reliance and external aid". There is no "foreign aid" now. It calls for the use of two resources at home and abroad, but in the final analysis, it still depends on itself.

No one can afford to afford you in China.

Such an idea has always been put into practice.

The state has continuously set up projects, from the past economic commission and the science and Technology Commission to today's development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of science and technology, and the Ministry of industry and commerce. Through various ways, it has given many support and encouragement to the textile industry and textile machinery industry, and these projects are also changing and upgrading along with the times.

The latest "textile industry's special projects for speeding up structural adjustment and pformation mode of growth" and "new textile machinery major technology and equipment project" issued by the national development and Reform Commission, and the new generation of textile equipment projects issued by the Ministry of science and technology are all around the State Council's "textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan" and the investment orientation of textile industry technological progress and technological pformation (2009-2011 years).

From a different perspective, the development of the textile industry is inseparable from either side. Both sides are encouraged and need support.

The goal of effort is to maximize autonomy.

Overall interests of all parties concerned

There is a provision in article first of Article 55: since July 1, 2009, the import of key parts and raw materials that are necessary for domestic enterprises to support the development of major technical equipment and products are exempt from import duties and import value-added tax.

At the same time, we should cancel the import tax exemption policy for the complete machines and complete sets of equipment.

As for the domestic equipment, which still can not fully meet the needs, it still needs to import as a pitional measure. After strict examination, it will continue to give preferential policies within a certain period with a gradual reduction in the scope of preferential treatment and the reduction of the scope of tax exemption.

In Annex 1, "Interim Provisions on the importation of major technical equipment import tax", 2 of the list of key parts and materials for import of major technical equipment and products, the key parts of high-speed air-jet looms, automatic winder, polyester staple fiber complete equipment, high-speed viscose filament continuous spinning machine, efficient modern complete cotton spinning equipment and electromechanical integrated rapier loom are listed as key support projects, which will be exempted from import duties and import value-added tax.

Zhang Huailiang said that in the past similar theme documents ([2007]50), only two high-speed air-jet looms and automatic winder, now increased to six, indicating that our equipment manufacturing is more mature. Now the six devices produced in China are more reliable and better used. They are almost the same level as foreign countries, and they are encouraged to solve them in the country and support the key parts of these imported equipment, rather than the whole machine import.

On the other hand, the import tax exemption policy for the complete machines and complete sets of equipment has been cancelled, which restricts the users' hands and feet who want to import the whole machine.

However, there is no one size fits all in the document. It has already indicated that "domestic equipment can not completely satisfy the needs and still needs to be imported".

At the same time, the second provision in Document No. 55 stipulates that since July 1, 2009, the domestic enterprises' implementation of the policy of repaying the import tariffs and import value-added tax for the development and manufacture of major technical equipment and the importation of value-added tax has been abolished and some documents have been abolished.

Zhang Huailiang is also very supportive of this.

He said that in the past, there were tax incentives for importing key components, but not directly.

It is sound like tax exemption. The actual operation will have many problems because of the different ownership of the enterprises, which hinders the enthusiasm of the enterprises. Now, directly and directly without tax, this is a real benefit to all kinds of textile machinery enterprises.

In the past, for a long time, the import machine could be duty-free under many conditions, and the import of key parts and components was not tax-free. It was worried that some enterprises would be completely broken up - like cars, the vehicle import tax was very high, and they were all pieced together into imports.

Document No. 55 stipulates that the import of key parts and components is also tax-free, indicating that the state is determined to support domestic equipment.

This coincides with the spirit of the revitalization plan for equipment manufacturing industry.

Such a policy must be effective.

Take the automatic winder as an example, the automatic winder of Qingdao spinning machine is relatively small in the domestic market. It mainly depends on the equipment imported from three large foreign companies, namely Italy's Murata, Germany's blessed and Japan's.

But from the first half of this year, the market share of Qingdao textile machinery is larger than that of three of them. That is because Qingdao textile machinery enjoys the tax reduction treatment, and the production models are advanced and practical. The new production line has been put into production smoothly, and has been recognized and welcomed by textile users.

The introduction of these two documents is timely and appropriate adjustments made by the relevant departments to take into account the interests of both suppliers and suppliers, considering the long-term policies and policies of the state and the healthy development of the textile industry.

It takes care of the textile machinery enterprises, and also takes into account the needs of textile users, taking into account the interests of all parties. It is a concrete concern and significant support for the textile industry.

It's pressure, it's power.

Discount is the main form of subsidy for the import of technology and equipment in the 2009 edition of Document No. 1926.

Zhang Huailiang believes that this catalog is a pressure on domestic textile machinery enterprises, but it may also turn into a driving force.

With the support of imported equipment, domestic textile machinery enterprises must catch up with foreign competitors as a goal to survive and develop.

If domestic enterprises improve their equipment level through various efforts, the price and pfer conditions of imported equipment will have to be reduced.

This will bring benefits to textile users.

The import is advantageous. The country has so many foreign exchange, and the net earning of textile is the first in the country. Why should we not use it? More than 1/3 of textiles are exported, and equipment imports can also create favorable conditions for export. This is also a favorable condition for textile upgrading and ensuring the high exchange rate of exports.

If the door is closed, it is not allowed to import. It is monopolized by domestic products. The result of monopoly is high quality and high price.

It seems to be beneficial to some enterprises, but the level of the entire textile industry has declined.

In addition, if the domestic users import these equipment, the textile machinery enterprises will have the opportunity to observe and learn, so this will have the opportunity to learn, and the domestic textile machinery enterprises will put forward higher requirements.

Imperceptibly, it will promote the progress of domestic enterprises.

Liu Tienan, deputy director of the Northeast Revitalization Office of the State Council, pointed out: "textile equipment enterprises should enhance their sense of service and achieve win-win cooperation with textile production enterprises.

We should advocate the unity and cooperation between users and equipment manufacturing enterprises, strengthen ties through market links, and achieve win-win results.

Textile manufacturers should also take the revitalization of the textile equipment industry as their responsibility and support the autonomy of textile equipment.

Textile equipment manufacturing enterprises should improve their awareness of service, follow up the frontier of technology, strengthen the research on textile technology, and need the urgent textile enterprises.

Encouraging imported equipment is both a pressure and a driving force for domestic textile machinery enterprises.
