New standards would be compulsory and more stringent than original standards. For example,

• The rate of materials generally limited to be carried in the scrap paper has been changed to not exceed 1.5%, instead of original 2.5%; and the rate of materials strictly limited to be carried in the scrap paper has been changed to not exceed 0.01%, instead of original 0.03%.
• Recyclable materials in the imported scrap hardwares/appliances should be not lower than 80% of the total weight of imported scrap hardwares/appliances, and the rate of recyclable metals contained in the imported scrap hardwares/appliances should be not lower than 60% of the total weight.

2006-1-25: AQSIQ sent out all registration certificates for applications in year 2005 via UPS International Express between 2006-1-23 and 2006-1-25.

Other rejected applicants should be able to check their status on the AQSIQ official website: http://scrap.eciq.cn. If you have problem to check your status, you may contact us for assistance.

To friendly remind you, AQSIQ NEVER authorized any "registered" waste supplier to use the logos of AQSIQ and CCIC or to be AQSIQ's agent. Those "registered" waste suppliers are not allowed to represent AQSIQ under any circumstances. It's illegal to transfer their registration numbers to other companies for use.

2006-1-18: Reminder Announcement for AQSIQ Registration.

AQSIQ reminds all applicant enterprises that they can check their own application status on the website: http://scrap.eciq.cn. In order to avoid the losses on the time and cost, the applicant enterprise should not go through the nonstandard agents who can not or refute to provide online status tracking service, or promise to pass the registration evaluation in a very short time. The actions and promises from these agents can not be supported or guaranteed by AQSIQ.

Based on the latest scrap supplier registration application situations of year 2005 released by AQSIQ recently, a statistical sampling result shows about 40% applicant enterprises went through the agents for the applications. Among these enterprises, except very few applications had passed the AQSIQ evaluations, most enterprises going through agents had been rejected by AQSIQ. These rejected enterprises need to wait for 6 months to be qualified for re-application. This would cause extreme losses to the applicant enterprise. Also, the enterprise needs to be reminded that most agents on the market have no capabilities to assist the enterprise to pass the AQSIQ registration evaluation.

If you couldn't check your status online, you may contact us for assistance.

2006-1-9: AQSIQ implemented new rules on wood packaging materials from 2006-1-1.

According to No. 2 Announcement released by AQSIQ on 2006-1-1, to prevent the live pests from entering China with the wood packaging materials(WPMs), by following International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures, the WPMs used by the cargos imported to China must be certified by phytosanitary authorities of exporting countries and IPPC marks must be applied. The regulation details on WPMs used by imported cargos had been released in the No. 11 and No. 32 announcements of year 2005.

During the initial implementation period from 2006-1-1 to 2006-6-30, to reduce impacts on the regular trades, following situations would be treated accordingly:

1. If live pests found in the WPM with IPPC mark, the WPM would be fumigated or heat treated or destroyed.
2. For the WPM with mark not complying with IPPC format, if no live pest found, it will pass; otherwise, the WPM would be fumigated or heat treated or destroyed.
3. For the WPM without IPPC mark, CIQ would issue violation notification to the importer, and inspect the WPM. If no live pest found, it will pass; otherwise, the WPM would be fumigated or heat treated or destroyed.

As we know, about 72 companies had been selected to go through the on-site assessment before they can be approved for registration.

2005-12-19: AQSIQ deployed the tasks for next year.

During the National Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Directors Conference from 2005-12-16 to 2005-12-17, Mr. Li, Changjiang, the chief of AQSIQ, addressed a report of "Earnestly Implement and Fulfill the Views of Scientific Development, Make Efforts to Enhance the Efficiency of Inspection and Quarantine to the Development of Economic and Society" to summarize the inspection and quarantine jobs in this year, and deploy the tasks for next year.

For the aspects related to scrap raw materials imports, this report emphasized that the tasks of next year would include:

"Stoutly prevent the imports of poisonous and noxious materials. ... Consummate the pre-shipment inspection on the imports of the materials in high risk, consummate the registration system of scrap raw material suppliers, rigorously enforce the import record system of used electromechanic products, tighten up the port inspections, stoutly block the imports of unqualified scrap and used materials, radioactive materials, used electromechanic products and used medical devices, attack all illegal activities of maliciously transferring trash to China."

2005-12-8: AQSIQ decided to open the application all the time.

AQSIQ has decided to keep the application of Registration for Oversea Suppliers of Waste Materials Imports opened all the time. The applicant enterprises can submit the application at any time.

However, the applicant enterprises are still needed to comply to all requirements of the registration. Till today, Dec. 8, 2005, AQSIQ never approved or released any registration number for the applications in this year. Contact us if you want to apply.

2005-9-29: We posted a list of cancelled or suspended registration numbers.

2005-9-7: AQSIQ hosted a news conference on Sep. 7^th to further explain the policy of Registration for Oversea Suppliers of Waste Materials Imports.

AQSIQ emphasized that the applicant companies should understand and be familiar with the Chinese policies very well. For example, most of applicant companies submitted the employee training programs focused on their own administrative procedures. However, AQSIQ expects the training program should focus on the education of Chinese environmental policies related to scrap materials import. The key point on the registration is the fact that the applicant company should have a good quality and environmental control system satisfied the Chinese environmental protection and other compulsory regulations. The applicant company itself should understand and be familiar with the Chinese policies related to scrap materials import very well.

There are many countries in the world having more strict environmental and scrap materials import policies than China. China does not mean to close the door for scrap materials import, but would like to welcome those suppliers with scrap materials in good environmental quality satisfied the Chinese regulations.

2005-9-7: AQSIQ released No. 131 Announcement on Sep. 7^th to allow the scrap plastic imports from Japan through registered Japanese suppliers.

Because some Japanese shippers deceived Chinese Customs by hiding a lot of unuseful hazardous materials in the scrap plastic containers and caused many severe environmental problems in China, AQSIQ had released the No. 47 Announcement on May. 8^th, 2004 to block all scrap plastic imports from Japan.

After several negotiations between Japan and China, and returned the involved scrap plastic containers to Japan, AQSIQ decided to allow the scrap plastic imports from Japan through registered Japanese suppliers on Sep. 20, 2005. However, the registered Japanese scrap plastic suppliers should follow the Chinese standard GB16487.12 to control the environmental protection quality of scrap plastic for import into China.

2005-8-1: We are proud to be recommended by the Department of Commerce in United States for AQSIQ application.
