In 2019, China’s total import and export of high-tech products exceeded 1.5 trillion US dollars, and international collaboration has become crucial to China’s technology development.
China is the world’s top consumer of semiconductors, using over half of all semiconductor chips globally. The future of AI hinges on this cutting-edge hardware, and East Asia, particularly Taiwan and China, alongside South Korea, is at the forefront.
Taiwan leads in advanced chip production, while China also possesses significant manufacturing capacity. Additionally, China is heavily invested in becoming self-sufficient in chip production, pouring billions into domestic companies and research – this is particularly evident as the US-China trade war ramps up.
The race for market dominance hinges on supply chain accessibility. With varying degrees of restrictions and differing compliance regulations, exporting and importing AI gear has become an arduous task. With complete transparency and a holistic approach, TecEx manages the end-to-end deployment of all AI-related tech and equipment across borders.
Exporting goods from China involves navigating regulatory compliance, including export licenses, customs documentation, and adherence to international standards. Businesses must account for tariffs, taxes, and duties while managing logistics challenges like port congestion, potential logistics issues, and choosing cost-effective shipping methods.
For items falling under dual-use categories, exporters must obtain specific licenses from relevant government agencies, such as the Ministry of Commerce (MOC). Non-compliance with these regulations can result in severe penalties, including product seizure, financial repercussions, and even blacklisting.
A persistent trade war with the United States and its allies has hampered the import and export of tech in China. The US has imposed several trade embargoes and sanctions on China over the years for various reasons, which have impacted the Chinese tech economy. And while imports and exports in China remain strictly regulated, requiring extensive compliance, the trade war with the USA has had far less of a toll on China’s economy. Although goods of American origin are still allowed into China, they can incur additional duty charges of approximately 10-25% depending on the HS code, making cost prediction extremely difficult for importers and exporters. Furthermore, China implements VAT with rates between 6% and 13%, depending on the product type. Compliance requirements can often pose significant challenges for importers. One critical certificate necessary for importing certain categorized devices into China is the China Compulsory Certificate (CCC). The CCC mark is a mandatory conformity mark that indicates a product meets the safety, quality, and environmental standards set by Chinese authorities. This mark is required for over 100 products, from electrical fuses to tech equipment. It further categorizes items into primary and secondary devices. The certification process involves rigorous testing, audits, and periodic inspections to ensure the products continue to meet Chinese standards. For importers, you must apply for the CCC certification through Chinese authorities and provide all the necessary documentation, including technical specifications and test reports. If these goods do not possess the CCC mark, importers can encounter delays, fines, or refusal of entry for non-compliant goods.
