Effective July 1st, Tianjin has taken a significant step in revamping import regulations for parallel imported cars. The new changes are in line with the national initiative to streamline processes and enhance efficiency in the automotive industry.
Under the latest directive issued by the Customs Administration and the Ministry of Public Security, Tianjin Customs now adheres to the consolidated format of import documentation for motor vehicles. This strategic move aims to simplify procedures and optimize the inspection process for imported vehicles.
Instead of the traditional separate documents, namely the “Certificate of Goods Import” and the “On-board Inspection Form for Imported Motor Vehicles,” both requirements have been unified into a single document. This consolidation is designed to facilitate a seamless and more cohesive process for importers and regulatory authorities alike.
Industry experts anticipate that this innovative approach will pave the way for increased transparency and standardization across the importation sector. Moreover, the harmonization of import paperwork is projected to bolster compliance efforts and ensure a smoother experience for all stakeholders involved in the importation of parallel vehicles.
