Exporting scrap materials to China is regulated by the government agency General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, in short the AQSIQ agency. Exporters are usually required a permit, known as the AQSIQ granted by the AQSIQ agency and also a pre-shipment inspection by China Certification & Inspection (Group) Co, in short CCIC.

The AQSIQ agency’s main function is to safeguard the imported cargos in China, and ensure that imported wastes comply with the environmental protection standards and other mandatory requirements regulations of China.

By AQSIQ regulations, it is mandatory for foreign enterprises, who export waste material to China, to register with AQSIQ. Waste materials from unregistered enterprises will be denied entry, and the requests for inspection and quarantine will not be considered.

According to the regulations of China on Import and Export Commodity Inspection, the AQSIQ has decided to authorize inspection companies to carry out pre-shipment inspection of recycling materials at the loading ports in the exporting country to ensure the management and supervision of imported recycling materials, protect the environment in China and Chinese citizens’ health, ensure the safety of industrial and agricultural production. CCIC Inc. is one of the authorized companies that carry out relevant inspection in most countries.

While there are thousands of scrap importers/buyers and a huge demand in China, foreign exporters/sellers do not necessarily have the ability to reach the buyers and make deals. One reason is the difficulty in communication. With the language barriers, it is not easy for buyers and sellers to locate each other. Another reason is even when buyers and sellers do meet and they like each other’s offer, if the seller doesn’t have the AQSIQ permit that allow them to sell scrap to China, no deal could be signed.

Most CCIC subsidiary companies in the exporting country specialize in survey and inspection services. Supported by an experienced staff with professional knowledge and skill, CCIC undertakes the inspection and surveying requested by trade parties both from China and abroad. Adhering to the principles of accuracy and impartiality, efficiency and promptitude, CCIC offer reliable services to the trade parties to ensure smooth delivery and payment of the goods, rational settlement of trade claims and disputes between buyers and sellers.

CCIC Canada Inc. typically conducts marine surveying for sulphur, coal, potash and ore concentrates. The scope of responsibility covers. Determining draft survey weight of cargo loaded, vessel inspection for cleanliness and acceptability to receive the intended cargo, on or off hire survey and Bunker survey.

The CCIC’s pre-shipment inspection which you can have it passed as long as the quality of your product is in compliance with China’s scrap importing policies. But for the AQSIQ, you have to apply it in advance if you know that you will sell to China.

Once you are in the business, you need to plan wisely and deal carefully with AQSIQ. One thing you don’t want to see is you already got a few contracts with buyers in China but you cannot deliver. So plan wisely, get your AQSIQ license as soon as you will that you will trade with China.
