At present, China is the world's largest construction machinery production and sales country and stock market. However, the export scale of second-hand construction machinery equipment in China is relatively small. The main reason is the asymmetry of transaction information between buyers and sellers, lack of supporting services and channels.

To this end, the Hunan Free Trade Zone has adopted a series of innovative measures to promote the export of second-hand construction machinery.

After the launch of the New Deal, the first export of second-hand equipment was officially declared, and it is planned to leave Hong Kong for export to Uganda in early November.

Hunan: Enjoying export tax rebate

  In the conference room of a construction machinery manufacturer in Changsha, Hunan, Li Sha and colleagues are making the final schedule for a second-hand rotary drilling rig to be exported to Uganda.

Li Sha told reporters that out of cost considerations, the customer wanted to purchase a second-hand rotary drilling rig with a machine age of no more than two years and good working conditions.

Li Sha, deputy general manager of Sunward Intelligent International Marketing Company:

Our entire price including tax is 2.5 million yuan, plus shipping, we bear the entire transportation.

The price of the same new machine is around 3.2 million yuan, plus Shanghai freight.

The 700,000 yuan gap is very attractive to these customers in the international market.

  Peng Ying, the person in charge of the second-hand equipment export project of Sunward Intelligent, told reporters that

this recycled second-hand equipment for export is in line with the Hunan Free Trade Zone's new policy for the export of second-hand equipment for innovative construction machinery. The biggest difference is that second-hand equipment can also be used. Enjoy export tax rebate like a new machine

.

In this way, they are more motivated and motivated to export second-hand equipment.

Peng Ying said that now, "trade-in" has become a major method of domestic construction machinery sales. Therefore, manufacturers like them, while selling new machines, also recycle a large number of second-hand equipment, and urgently need to sell them as soon as possible. Return of funds.

  Peng Ying said that they are currently in contact with some customers in Southeast Asia and Africa, hoping to rely on Hunan's innovative path in the export of construction machinery second-hand equipment to export more second-hand equipment.

Under-standard after-sales service in transaction evaluation

Second-hand equipment exports need to improve the industrial chain

  The reporter learned during the interview that currently,

the trading and circulation of second-hand construction machinery in China still lack clear industry norms and standards

in

terms of evaluation and pricing

; after the sale, since a complete industrial chain has not been formed, after-sales service is also not available. There are some shortcomings.

These factors are also obstacles and risks faced by the export of second-hand construction machinery equipment.

  Chen Baocheng is the head of a trading company. He has been in the construction machinery industry for 20 years. A few years ago, he was optimistic about the development opportunities in the construction machinery stock market and started to export second-hand equipment.

Chen Baocheng said that because the needs of each overseas customer are different, and as a trader, he does not have his own source of goods like a OEM. Therefore, finding suitable second-hand equipment for customers is the most complicated thing. These second-hand concrete pump trucks on the ground were purchased by their company from many cities in China after half a year.

  Chen Baocheng said that since there is no evaluation of the pricing standard, once the second-hand equipment with inconsistent information and poor working conditions is purchased in the procurement process, it will greatly increase the cost of traders and affect export transactions.

In addition,

because the parts and components of second-hand equipment for construction machinery are all domestically produced, domestic parts are not available in foreign channels, the level of technicians is not high, and there is no professional after-sales warranty, which makes the after-sales service of second-hand equipment incomplete

.

  Industry insiders suggest that to improve the after-sales service of overseas construction machinery second-hand equipment, the resources of OEMs and traders can be cooperated and shared.

Zhang Biao, Secretary-General of Changsha Construction Machinery Association Second-hand Equipment Alliance:

We think this way. A host company can be the main body, but it is still in the process of cultivation at this stage.

Second, we will cultivate and support large international traders, because construction machinery has its professionalism in it, and we hope to gather influential domestic traders (cooperation) through the innovation platform reform platform of the Hunan Free Trade Zone.

Exploring the construction of standardization system to open up the market of 100 billion U.S. dollars

It is predicted that in the future, China's exports of second-hand construction machinery will reach a scale of 100 billion US dollars each year

, and the market prospects are broad.

The construction of a standardization system is essential to the healthy and orderly development of the industry.

Currently, Hunan is actively exploring the establishment and improvement of relevant standards.

?

  According to industry experts, the

establishment of a standardized system for the export of second-hand construction machinery equipment must first establish three important standards. One is the value evaluation guide for exported equipment, the second is the after-sales service specification, and the third is the quality appraisal specification

.

At present, these three standards are facing some difficulties when formulating.

For example, whether it is in the domestic or international markets, there is basically a lack of standards for the export of second-hand construction machinery equipment, which will cause the entire industry to lack a unified basis for inspection and testing, quality evaluation, and financing.

In addition, the importing country of second-hand construction machinery equipment has its own emission or quality requirements. How to formulate standards to meet the needs of international customers based on its own products requires more understanding of the international market.

  The relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Free Trade Office said that at present, the

export level of second-hand construction machinery in China is relatively low, and the brand value of domestic construction machinery leading enterprises and the degree of value preservation of second-hand equipment still have a certain gap with well-known companies such as the United States, Germany, and Japan

.

Therefore, it is necessary to continuously expand the export of domestic construction machinery second-hand equipment, increase the share of domestic construction machinery enterprises in the international market, encourage enterprises to increase brand value, and participate in the construction of the global construction machinery equipment supply chain, innovation chain and value chain.
