"Plastic is a man-made material, is widely used in various purposes, imported plastics and plastic products of various types. 2023 version of the People's Republic of China Customs Import and Export Commodity Specification Declaration Catalogue of plastics and its products in the specification of the declaration requirements compared with the previous years there are some new changes, the enterprise should pay attention to fill in the declaration. In this paper, the declaration of plastics and their products is prone to irregularities in the declaration of elements to be analysed and made tips.
First, the main types of import and export of plastics and their products
The People's Republic of China Import and Export Tariff Regulations, Chapter 39 - plastics and their products, according to the processing of plastics is divided into two sub-chapters: the first sub-chapter includes the primary shape of the polymer (3901-3914), the second sub-chapter includes waste scraps and offcuts, semi-products and finished products (3915-3926).
Elements to be declared for polymers in primary forms include name, appearance, composition content, type and proportion of monomer units, specific gravity, source of substrate, grade, brand, model, date of signing, and use.
Elements to be declared for scraps and offcuts include name, source, composition, whether or not destructive treatment has been carried out, and in the case of rolls, whether or not there is a spindle.
Semi-products and finished products to declare elements including name, appearance, use, composition, material, whether equipped with accessories, bursting pressure, whether combined with other materials, whether one-sided self-adhesive, type, brand, specifications, size, model and so on.
Import and export of plastics and their products, the main specification declaration elements
Appearance (shape, transparency, colour, etc.), refers to the actual appearance of the goods themselves, mainly refers to the colour, transparency and shape of the goods and other apparent traits. It should be noted that:
Colour, transparency and shape are the important elements to reflect the state of the goods in tariff codes 3901 to 3914, and one of them is indispensable. Among them, the transparency can usually be reported as "transparent", "translucent", "opaque" and so on. For example, goods under tariff heading 39.01 can be reported as "granular; transparent; white, etc.". Under tariff heading 39.16, commodities are reported as "bars", "rods", "profiles", "profiles" and so on.
Component content refers to the types and contents of various substances contained in the goods.
The types and proportions of monomer units refer to simple compounds that can be turned into polymer compounds by polymerisation or polycondensation. Generally unsaturated, cyclic or low molecular compounds containing two or more functional groups are required to fill in the type and content of monomer.
Note: "Content of components" and "type and proportion of monomers" should be clearly distinguished. For example, under tariff code column 3901.1000, the "component content" of polyethylene can be filled in as "polyethylene 100%"; the "type and proportion of monomer unit" can be filled in as "ethylene 100%". "Ethylene 100%". For ethylene-propylene copolymer, the "content" can be declared as "ethylene-propylene copolymer 99%, carbon black 1%"; the monomer unit can be declared as "ethylene 8%, propylene 92%". The monomer unit can be declared as "ethylene 8%; propylene 92%".
Source of base material (recycled material, bottle chip material, new material, sub-brand material), refers to the import of plastics under tariff items 3901-3914, if from recycled waste plastics should be filled in the "recycled material", if it is recycled plastic bottles processed and treated to get the fragments of plastics should be indicated as "bottle chip material"; if it is normal from the recycling of plastic bottles processed and treated to get pieces of plastic should be indicated as "bottle chip material". If the plastics are in primary shapes normally obtained by polymerisation of low molecular raw materials, they should be reported as "new materials". If the plastics are in primary shapes normally obtained by polymerisation of low molecular raw materials, but one or more of the performance indexes cannot reach the standard of new materials, they should be reported as "sub-brand materials". Material". Note: The source of the base material should be filled in from the "four choices" in parentheses.
Brand (Chinese or foreign name), refers to the manufacturer or distributor to add the brand mark on the goods, the actual need to declare the Chinese or foreign brand name. For example: "Mitsui Mitsui" and so on. Note: The brand must be declared in Chinese or foreign brands, for no Chinese and foreign brands, should be declared "no Chinese and foreign brands", not simply declared as "no".
Use (film grade, injection grade, blow moulding grade, injection moulding grade, wire drawing grade, cable grade, etc.), refers to the aspects and scope of the application of the goods in the chapter. The "use" of tariff item 3901-3914 refers to the downstream processing grade (e.g. "film grade", "injection grade", "blow moulding grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade", "injection grade"). ", "injection grade", "injection moulding grade", "wire drawing grade", "cable grade", etc.), according to the processing level declaration; no clear downstream processing level, fill in the commodity The aspect and scope of application, i.e. actual use. The requirement of "use" of tariff item 39.15-39.26 only refers to the aspect and scope of application of the commodity, i.e. actual use.
Grade (genuine, non-genuine) refers to whether the performance of the goods meets the preset standards at the time of production. If the goods meet the preset standards of production, then fill in "genuine"; if one or more performance indicators of the goods do not meet the preset standards of production, then fill in "non-genuine". Note: The grade should be reported as "either one or the other" in parentheses.
Whether combined with other materials, means that if the goods are combined with other materials, you need to fill in the specific material, such as "combined with textiles"; otherwise, you should fill in the "not combined with other materials".
Material, refers to the type of material used in goods or plastic varieties. Products class of goods according to the actual fill in the material type or more specific plastic varieties. For example, under tariff code 3917.2100, goods should be reported as "made of polyethylene".
Size, refers to the size of the goods. For example, fill in the "length, width, thickness" for sheet, "width, thickness of a single layer" for roll, and "outer diameter, inner diameter, length" for tube. Note: In principle, it should not be reported as "no specification", and irregular should be reported as "irregular shape"."
