Question 3

Understand the essential documentation requirements for break-bulk construction machinery. Learn what details, including piece count, weight, and volume, must be listed on documents and the role of a packing list for vessel stowage.

Accepted Answer

Break-bulk vessels mainly carry "unpacked/bundled" cargo; the documents must list each piece by name, piece number, gross weight, net weight, volume and center of gravity position, and attach a Packing List to facilitate the vessel stowage plan.

Question 4

Understand used machinery certification for import. Match CE for EU, FCC for US. Learn about environmental control and hazardous substance requirements for global trade.

Accepted Answer

Certification must match the importing country technical standards: CE certification for export to the EU, FCC certification for export to the US; certification standards of different regions cannot be mixed. If the equipment contains hazardous substances, it falls under environmental control, and a dedicated environmental testing report must be prepared in advance to meet the corresponding country environmental requirements.

Question 5

Understand age regulations for used machinery export. Southeast Asian countries are strict (5 years), while some African countries are more lenient (10 years). Always verify destination country rules.

Accepted Answer

Focus on the equipment service life. Southeast Asian countries are strict and mostly accept only used machinery within 5 years; some African countries are more lenient and accept equipment within 10 years. Always verify the destination country age regulations before shipment.

Question 6

Learn the standardized, reinforced packing process for large construction machinery parts to ensure compliance and prevent loss. Includes custom cases, steel strapping, detailed records, and clear marking.

Accepted Answer

Large parts require a standardized reinforced packing process: first customize a dedicated wooden case sized to the goods, use mechanical assistance for precise loading, and reinforce with steel strapping overall to prevent case damage and cargo falling during transport; before sealing, take 360-degree panoramic photos of the cargo and case for record, and affix large, eye-catching shipping marks to the case; finally, mark the complete parts list on the case in waterproof ink, video-record the whole process, and keep the full packing records.

Question 7

The used car export license application involves online filing and review (3-5 days), but requires mandatory on-site verification with original paper documents before issuance.

Accepted Answer

It cannot be fully completed online. Material filing, upload and review queries are all online, but after review passes, the original paper documents must be brought for on-site verification, and the formal license is issued only after verification passes. Provided materials are complete and information is correct, the relevant authority completes the online review within 3–5 working days, and progress can be followed online in real time.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

A complete set of compliant materials must be prepared in advance — none can be missing, including: proof of lawful source of the vehicle such as the vehicle ownership certificate and purchase invoice; a formal vehicle inspection report; an export contract clearly stating vehicle model, export quantity and destination; actual photos of the vehicle exterior and interior; and a compliance declaration that the vehicle is not stolen, not illegally assembled and lawfully sourced. All materials must be true, complete and compliant to avoid rejection in review.

Question 9

Exporting garbage compaction trucks can be complex. Understand varying export license requirements and prepare properly to prevent customs declaration risks and ensure smooth trade.

Accepted Answer

Garbage-compaction trucks are a special case — requirements vary by customs declaration scenario; some require a license, some do not. To avoid sudden customs-declaration risks, the safe recommendation is to prepare as though an export license is required in advance.

Question 10

Learn which vehicles require an export license for international trade. This includes tractors, dump trucks, lorry-mounted cranes, sedans, and pickup trucks.

Accepted Answer

Tractors (prime movers), dump trucks, lorry-mounted cranes, sedans and pickup trucks require an export license for export. Break-bulk vessels carry relatively fewer such cargo resources.

Question 11

Understand the key distinction in export licensing for truck cranes and lorry-mounted cranes. Truck cranes do not require an export license, unlike lorry-mounted cranes which do.

Accepted Answer

No, they differ — note the distinction: truck cranes do not require an export license, while lorry-mounted cranes must obtain an export license. Do not confuse them.

Question 12

Discover which construction vehicles, including excavators, loaders, road rollers, sprinklers, fire trucks, and mixer trucks, can be exported normally without an export license.

Accepted Answer

Excavators, loaders, road rollers and other road machinery; water sprinklers, fire trucks, tankers, mixer trucks and truck cranes can all be exported normally without an export license.

Question 13

Discover the required documents for container booking of a chassis equipped with lithium batteries, including transport appraisal reports and dangerous goods declarations, depending on declaration method.

Accepted Answer

1. If a chassis with lithium batteries is declared as a chassis, the chassis is regarded as dangerous goods for export and a transport appraisal report for the chassis must be provided; dangerous-goods declaration must be made according to the UN number on the appraisal report.2. If the battery and chassis are declared separately, the lithium battery transport appraisal report and the dangerous-goods packaging certificate for the batteries must be provided, and the batteries must be packed separately.
