The Second-Hand Car Export Process Is Simplified In 35 Years Or Ushered In A "Small Outbreak".

Domestic second-hand car export business is coming again. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of public security and the General Administration of Customs signed the notice on speeding up the export of second-hand cars, which further streamlined the work process and improved the convenience of second-hand car exports.

Specifically, the document simplifies the transfer procedures for the export of used cars. The second-hand car export license is changed from "one vehicle one certificate" to "one batch one certificate". In addition, the document also clearly states that the second-hand vehicle export applies the national customs clearance integration mode, and the enterprise can independently choose the export declaration place and the exit port.

Twenty-first Century economic report reporter learned that the domestic second-hand car export has just officially started this year, is still in the stage of exploration and development, and the publication of this document is aimed at the adjustment of the problems encountered in the real business.

In April this year, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of public security and the General Administration of Customs signed the "notice on supporting the export of used cars in mature areas". The policy first publicly supported the export business of second-hand cars, so that the second-hand car exports that had been in the "gray area" entered the development channel. Similar to the parallel import business of automobiles, the export of used cars was the first pilot in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities.

Luo Lei, Deputy Secretary General of the China Automobile Circulation Association, told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report that the policy of releasing second-hand car export business is the result of the gradual maturity and maturity of the domestic automobile industry. It is also a response to the demand of many domestic automobile production and circulation enterprises.

Although only a small number of regions and enterprises are involved in the layout, the second-hand car export is expected to become a new increment of used cars or even the entire automotive industry. People with second-hand car dealership in Shanghai area told reporters that from this year's market, the second-hand car market in China has gradually become saturated, and the market along the "one belt and one road" has brought new growth opportunities for second-hand cars.

However, he also admitted that second-hand car exports demand higher management capacity for enterprises. Now it is only a "fumbling" stage for large enterprises. For many small and medium dealers in the market, it is estimated that 35 years will bring "substantial benefits".

Process simplification

In April this year, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments issued documents supporting the export business of second-hand cars. The ten provinces and municipalities in the whole country put the development of second-hand car export in the agenda, and the local government formulated a local export promotion plan for used cars. In May, the export of second-hand cars was officially launched.

Since then, many pilot enterprises have reported news of second-hand car export business. These enterprises include second-hand car companies, large dealer groups, used car business platforms, etc., and the most recent one is that the wholly owned subsidiary of the Great Wall Motor Company (Tianjin) automobile import and Export Co., Ltd. has completed the first second-hand car export business.

Behind the ice breaking business is a series of practical problems faced by second-hand car exports. Luo Lei told the twenty-first Century business news reporter that our country has just begun to pilot second-hand car exports, and the procedures such as testing standards, transaction transfer and license applicants are not yet complete. There are still some convenience problems in practice. This is also the reason why the Ministry of Commerce and the latest policies in and out of Taiwan.

Take motor vehicle registration as an example, because many cities now only give "six" emission standards to vehicles, many second-hand cars are facing difficulties in the process of export registration. After simplifying procedures, the traffic management department of the public security organs will issue temporary driving license plates to the relevant enterprises. After the export clearance procedures have been completed, the enterprises will apply for cancellation of registration again.

As a result, the second-hand car export not only streamlined the process, but also basically solved the short-term impact of the "state six" switch on second-hand car exports. In twenty-first Century, the economic report has learned that after the implementation of the "national six" policy, the second-hand car market in some cities has been greatly affected. Because of the worry that they can not play cards, dealers will not dare to accept cars and become mainstream.

In addition to simplifying registration, the latest document also relaxed the license process for second-hand car export, stipulating that the second-hand car export license is changed from "one vehicle one certificate" to "one batch one certificate". The application can cover 20 cars at a time. The document also requires that the competent departments of Commerce, public security and customs should provide convenience for enterprises in the links of vehicle transfer registration, export license application, port clearance and vehicle cancellation according to the relevant documents.

Used car new blue ocean

Why do policies encourage second-hand car exports?

Data show that in 2018, the number of second-hand car transactions in China was 13 million 820 thousand, less than half of the sales volume of 28 million 80 thousand new cars, such as the volume of used cars in developed countries is 2 times the sales volume of new cars, and the volume of second-hand car exports is more than 10%.

However, due to the lack of relevant laws and regulations, China's second-hand car exports have not been scale development. Luo Lei told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report that China's auto industry in the past few years is not very perfect. Rashly second-hand car exports, if not keeping up with the vehicle condition and after-sale, is likely to have a negative impact on China's export image.

With the development of the second-hand car industry in China, many enterprises engaged in second-hand car business have produced the desire to export. A car company related person once explained to the media the logic: the stock of second-hand cars in China is more, the depreciation of vehicles is accelerated, and the cost of second-hand cars is reduced.

In addition, the management also believes that it is now a strategic opportunity to increase exports and expects significant growth in auto exports, including second-hand car exports. Data show that the establishment and cooperation of China's auto enterprises has reached 140 factories and more than 9200 overseas international marketing networks. The influence of independent brands on overseas markets has been greatly improved.

In the industry view, second-hand car export is to promote the second-hand car market and even the entire automobile market development "propeller". The above used car dealers in Shanghai told the twenty-first Century economic report: "China's second-hand car market, to be honest, the market is gradually saturated this year, and now it is also possible in some parts of the western region. It would be a good thing if we could export. "

A report by the China Automobile Circulation Association also showed that the growth rate of second-hand cars began to slow down this year, thanks to the continuous decline of new car sales. The volume of transactions in August increased by only 0.92% over the same period last year, and picked up slightly in September. The volume of transactions increased by 7.47% over the same period last year, but the cumulative volume of transactions in 1~9 months narrowed to 4.32%.

"However, in the long run, the second-hand car will still have great room for development with the cancellation of second-hand car restrictions and the encouragement of second-hand cars exported by the state." The report points out. In recent years, the policy has lifted the support for second-hand cars in the area of abolition of second-hand cars, and encouraged the export of second-hand cars to become an important part.

However, the export of second-hand cars is still in the initial stage of exploration and development, and faces many practical problems. The second-hand car dealers said that the rate of second-hand cars of their own brands will still be sold to the "along the road" or the developing countries market, but the automobile matching (such as after-sale maintenance system) is not perfect in these areas, which puts forward higher requirements for the distribution of second-hand cars. Therefore, he thinks that the export of second-hand cars will be paved by more powerful large companies in the short term.

Some analysts pointed out that although many enterprises have completed the first single business of second-hand car export, whether the business can go in the long run still need long-term tests, including the construction of second-hand car market system such as vehicle circulation cost and after sale service.
