British mechanical and electrical products import management regulations

1. Tariffs and other taxes
1. Tariff The EU is a customs union, free trade between 15 member states, and a uniform tariff on imports from countries outside the EU. At present, a unified tariff system has been established within the EU. The United Kingdom is a member of the European Union, implementing the EU's uniform tariffs, and its tariff schedule uses HS commodity codes.

The UK import tax is based on the principle of taxation on a price basis. The invoice value is usually used as the base price for calculating the import tax. A preferential price agreement between an overseas supplier and a UK importer, the UK Customs has the right to evaluate its fair market value and then decide whether to impose a tax. The tax rate for most manufactured goods is 5-17%.

Under the Lomé Agreement, the EU grants GSP treatment to most countries and commodities in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, and exempts almost all semi-finished and manufactured goods from GSP countries. Tax exemption quotas for these goods and proof of origin are provided annually. China is a country that enjoys its GSP treatment.

As a member of the European Union, the United Kingdom has signed the WTO Information Technology (IT) Agreement and promised to cancel the computer, communication equipment, semiconductor and semiconductor manufacturing equipment in four stages from July 1997 to January 1, 2000. Import duties on software and scientific instruments (except for individual goods).

2. Other taxes are subject to the relevant regulations of the European Union. Value-added tax (VAT) and other taxes are levied in the country where the final destination of the imported goods is located. The EU is implementing a uniform VAT rate in 15 member states, and all goods, whether imported or locally manufactured, are levied on the basis of non-discrimination. For imported goods, based on the total value of imports (CIF value of the goods), including freight, insurance and taxes. VAT is levied at customs clearance, and the current standard rate is 17.5%. Exhibits for most exhibitions or imported goods for demonstrations at exhibitions are exempt from VAT.

The UK implements the WTO Convention on Anti-Dumping Taxes, Subsidies and Tax Fraud. The EU has converted the relevant content of this convention into EU law. At present, the United Kingdom imposes an anti-dumping duty of 44.6% on color TVs above 15.5cm.

In addition, the UK grants tax reductions and exemptions on the following imported goods:
● Processing and re-importing products abroad;
● Temporarily imported products, such as aircraft, commercial road vehicles, etc.;
● Products that are returned to the exporting country after importation;
● Transit turnover products;
● Clearly identify products for specific situations, such as handicapped supplies, scientific instruments and equipment for international research;
● Processing and re-exporting products;
Some products are tax-deductible in the final use case.
2. Provisions on the safety and standards of imported products
1. UK regulations on product safety and standards The British Standards Agency (BSI) is the government department responsible for the formulation, promulgation and promotion of industrial and consumer product standards. All production, testing, installation and operation standards for manufactured products are determined by it. If a standard is duplicated with the existing EU CEN standard, the CEN standard becomes the British standard; if the international standard ISO standard is different from the CEN standard, the ISO standard will prevail and the British national standard will be modified to be consistent with the ISO standard. The standard rules for the implementation of the WTO in the UK.

Products that meet British Standards can only be referred to as BS (Code), but cannot be considered BS (Code) unless it has been tested by BSI or its approved laboratory and obtained a certificate.

The seller has the right to attach a kite logo or label to the product that has been tested and certified by BSI or its approved laboratory to prove that it has been passed. The kite logo is an easily recognizable vivid logo for home appliances and electronics. Products also have promotional value.

The manufacturer's testing facility must be approved by the UK National Measurement and Identification System (NAMAS), otherwise the test data is not approved. NAMAS is a quality assurance system regulated by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, while the NPL is responsible for the harmonization of national measurement systems.

The EU is now adopting the EU Guiding Policy (EU
Directives) harmonize safety requirements and related standards for industrial products, implement national standards during the transition period, and after the transition period, the EU's wide CE mark will replace it.
2. Special requirements for electric equipment and motor vehicles Electric equipment: The UK and EU standards certification authorities do not recognize the test or certificate issued by the Guarantor Laboratory (UL) because it is a non-governmental organization. Similarly, some test laboratories are approved by the US Federal Communications Commission, and test data from such test laboratories are not adopted by UK standards bodies. However, when there is no British national standard, the US industry standard or UL certificate is accepted as the guarantee of product quality. The National Electric Power Manufacturers Association standard is the same as the American Petroleum Institute standard.

Motor vehicles: From July 1, 1997, all imported motor vehicles from countries outside the EU need to be tested and approved one by one. The motor vehicles must comply with the British standards for motor vehicles, including exhaust emissions, speedometers and lights. Unauthorized vehicles cannot be registered.

3. Restricted and banned imports of mechanical and electrical products restricted imports: second-hand agricultural machinery, unless all soil and other debris are removed; cordless phones with a frequency not exceeding 853MHz, unless the import is approved by the DTI Radiocommunication Agency, or meets the technical specifications MPT
1322.
Imported products are prohibited: wireless telephone transmitters; radio equipment with a frequency of 26.1-28 MHz in the civilian band (AM citizens band)
Radios), walkie-talkies, miniature bugs, radio headsets, unless approved by the Radiocommunication Agency, or in civilian band radios comply with MPT
Specifications required by 1320; equipment for transmitting video images; wrong products with origin identification; trademark infringement products.
Third, the certification test procedures
1. Electric products Unless the manufacturer is authorized to represent the importer, the importer is generally not appointed by the manufacturer to undertake the tasks in the 1994 electric product regulations. In general, importers do not have a detailed understanding of what standards/specifications or guidelines are used by manufacturers in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the 1994 electric product regulations do not allow importers to attach to imported products.
CE marking, drafting in accordance with EU standards declarations or preparation of technical documents.
The importer must hold two documents:
Holds the EC Declaration of Conformity
The content mainly includes: clarifying the manufacturer or authorized representative; describing the facts about the electric equipment; and indicating the safety requirements of the standard or specification of the imported product.
Hold Technical Documentation
The content includes: describing the facts about the electrical equipment; providing information about the design, manufacture and operation; and determining the procedures used to ensure compliance with the safety requirements of the electrical equipment.
2. Mechanical and safety components Since January 1, 1995, the import of mechanical and safety components must meet two requirements:
Most mechanical products must meet a wide range of health and safety requirements, such as product structure, moving parts and stability; in some cases, type inspection by an authorized body; with CE marking and other information.

The manufacturer or importer must produce technical documentation of the imported product. Otherwise, mechanical products cannot be legally provided in the UK, and may result in indictment or fines. If found guilty, the fine can be as much as £5,000 and in some cases even three months in prison.

In May 1995, the UK's relevant machinery regulations stipulated that most mechanical and safety components were in compliance with relevant standards or directly in line with EHSRs, and the responsible person (manufacturer or importer) must provide relevant technical documents. For all mechanical products, the responsible person (manufacturer or importer) must draft a conformity declaration, attach a CE mark or draft a company statement in accordance with Annex H of the regulation; for all safety components, the responsible person must draft a conformity declaration.

In addition, mechanical and safety components such as sawtooth machines, plastic and rubber injection molding machines have special requirements:
When these products comply with the relevant standards, the manufacturer or importer must provide technical information to an authorized inspection agency, which will confirm receipt; or provide technical information to an authorized inspection agency to demonstrate full compliance with the standards. The technical data is issued with a certificate of conformity; or a sample is provided to an authorized inspection agency for the type test of the European Union.

Inconsistent with British Standards or the absence of such standards in the UK, samples must be provided to an Authorized Inspection Agency for Type-examination.
4. Other British governments have signed and implemented WTO agreements on government procurement. The purchase amount is more than US$147,000, which is open for public bidding. It is treated equally by different countries and domestic and foreign manufacturers, and must not be discriminated against. However, this agreement is not applicable to communications and transportation products.

Documents required for import in the UK: Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin (Certificate of
Origin), Commercial Invoice, Import License (Import)
License), Insurance Certificate, Packing List.
