[commodity inspection] issuance and implementation of inspection regulations for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials

According to Announcement No. 78 of 2020 jointly issued by the Ministry of ecological environment, the Ministry of Commerce, the national development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of customs, recycled iron and steel raw materials meeting the standard of recycled iron and steel raw materials (GB / T 39733-2020) are not solid waste and can be freely imported from January 1, 2021. On June 1, 2021, the General Administration of Customs issued announcement No. 39, specifying that the import commodity inspection of recycled steel raw materials will be implemented from June 10. On June 18, Announcement No. 45 of the General Administration of Customs issued the inspection procedures for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials, which standardized the terms and definitions, general requirements, on-site inspection and result disposal of imported recycled iron and steel raw materials.

How to understand the inspection regulations for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials? Xiaobian helps you draw out the key points!

The inspection specification for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials is applicable to the inspection of imported recycled iron and steel raw materials used as ferritic charge raw materials in ironmaking, steelmaking, casting and ferroalloy smelting.

Recycled iron and steel raw materials refer to the furnace charge products that can be directly used as iron resources after classification and processing. include:

The procedure specifies the general requirements for the inspection of imported recycled steel raw materials, including:

1. Inspection location

The customs inspects the imported recycled iron and steel raw materials at the first port of entry and does not accept the application for customs transfer of imported recycled iron and steel raw materials. The imported recycled iron and steel raw materials transported from abroad to the special supervision area shall not enter the area if they fail to pass the inspection.

2. Safety protection

In case of excessive radioactivity, explosive substances, hazardous wastes and other situations threatening personnel safety, health and health during the inspection, the operation shall be suspended immediately and corresponding isolation and protection measures shall be taken.

According to the control instructions, the customs focuses on the inspection of radioactive pollutants, classification inspection, explosive goods inspection, hazardous waste inspection, inclusion inspection and on-site investigation of solid waste for imported recycled iron and steel raw materials to determine whether they meet the standards of recycled iron and steel raw materials (GB / T 39733-2020):

Radioactive contamination inspection

The goods shall:

a) Radioactive substances shall not be mixed;

b) The external radiation penetration dose rate of raw materials (including packaging) shall not exceed the normal natural radiation background value of the location + 0.25 μ Gy/h;

c) Raw material surface α.β 300 cm of any part of the surface in the level of radioactive contamination ² Average of the maximum detection level of α Not more than 0.04 Bq / cm ²,β Not more than 0.4 Bq / cm ².

Classification test

The classification of goods (category, brand and physical specification) shall comply with the requirements of Appendix C.

Inspection of explosive articles

Explosive articles are weapons and ammunition, inflammables and explosives, explosives and other articles carried by recycled steel raw materials. The goods shall not be mixed with abandoned bombs, shells, bullets and other explosive articles.

On site investigation of solid waste

The goods are not solid waste after investigation or solid waste attribute identification.

Hazardous waste inspection

Hazardous waste refers to the waste listed in the national hazardous waste list or the waste identified as hazardous waste by hazardous waste. The weight of hazardous waste in the cargo shall not exceed 0.01% of the total weight.

Inclusion inspection

Inclusions refer to non-metallic substances mixed into recycled steel raw materials during generation, collection, packaging and transportation, including wood waste, waste paper, waste plastics, waste rubber, waste glass, stones and powdery substances (dust, sludge, sawdust, fiber powder, etc.) with a particle size of no more than 2mm, but excluding packaging and other substances used in transportation. The content of inclusions in the goods shall meet the requirements of appendix D.

If radioactive pollutants, explosives, hazardous wastes, inclusions, classification and solid wastes are all qualified through on-site investigation, the batch of goods shall be determined to be qualified and released.

If the quality certificate or delivery note is not attached, and the quality certificate or delivery note provided does not meet the specified requirements, it is allowed to carry out technical rectification. If the rectification is qualified, it shall be released, and if the rectification is unqualified, it shall be ordered to return.

If any result of radioactive pollutants, explosives, hazardous wastes, inclusions and classification is unqualified, the batch of goods shall be judged as unqualified. It shall be handled in the following ways. Those suspected of smuggling crimes shall be handed over to the anti smuggling department in time for handling according to law:

a) Those who fail to pass the inspection of radioactive pollutants, explosives, hazardous waste and inclusions shall be ordered to return.

b) If the classification is unqualified, it belongs to the wrong declaration of the whole batch of categories or brands, and there is no mixing of different categories or brands, it shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant declaration provisions. Technical rectification is allowed in case of unqualified classification of recycled iron and steel raw materials with different categories or mixed brands. If technical rectification is impossible, sorting, re declaration and separate disposal are allowed; Those that cannot be sorted shall be ordered to return.

If the solid waste is identified as solid waste by the identification agency, it shall be disposed of according to the relevant provisions on solid waste according to law.

Shipping and storage

Imported recycled steel raw materials shall be stored by category. When shipping and loading (ship), each carriage (cabin and container) is generally allowed to load only recycled steel raw materials of the same category and brand. For imported recycled iron and steel raw materials transported in bulk, in order to make up for the loss of space, more than two types and grades of recycled iron and steel raw materials can also be loaded, but they shall be separated as far as possible and clearly marked.

When importing recycled iron and steel raw materials, it shall be truthfully filled in according to the relevant provisions of the declaration catalogue and interpretation of customs import and export commodity specifications of the people's Republic of China in 2021 and with reference to the requirements of "7 categories and 18 brands" (see Appendix C above) of the relevant national standards for recycled iron and steel raw materials. The corresponding tariff code and declaration elements of recycled steel raw materials shall meet the requirements, and the specific recycled steel category and brand shall be indicated. Different categories and brands shall be declared by "item number".

bill

The attached documents include pre shipment inspection certificate, quality certificate or delivery note.

The pre shipment inspection certificate shall be authentic and consistent with other relevant documents. The container number (or other means of transport), seal number, product name and category of the goods shall be consistent with the information listed in the pre shipment inspection certificate and other relevant documents.

The quality certificate or delivery note shall be accompanied by the radioactive inspection qualification data or certificate, and shall indicate the name, weight, category and brand of the supplier. For alloy steel recycled steel raw materials, the steel type and main alloy content shall be indicated, and for stainless steel recycled steel raw materials, the content of main components (chromium and nickel) shall be indicated.

risk prevention

The consignee must purchase the goods according to the standard requirements of recycled iron and steel raw materials (GB / T 39733-2020), and clearly require the consignor to supply the goods according to the standard requirements. It is suggested to specify in the contract that if it is determined by the customs that it does not meet the standards or belongs to solid waste, it shall be borne by the supplier
