Avoiding Traps in Forklift License and Use Requirements
Some enterprises often carry fixed devices for pressure - bearing gas storage when importing used electromechanical equipment. These containers are often regarded as unqualified by the customs and required to be returned or destroyed. However, the root of the problem is not that these containers are special equipment not permitted by our country.
1) 问题的核心：When importing used electromechanical equipment, enterprises should carefully study relevant regulations and understand which types of containers are prohibited from import. Even if a certain fixed - type pressure vessel has obtained the special equipment license of our country, if it is listed as a used electromechanical product prohibited from import, it still cannot be imported.
2) 相关法规与误区：Some enterprises will attach movable gas storage tanks connected to the equipment when importing electromechanical equipment. These gas storage tanks often require the Special Equipment Production License.
The misunderstanding here is the confusion of the concepts of fixed - type pressure vessels and gas cylinders. According to the provisions of the Safety Technical Supervision Regulations for Fixed - type Pressure Vessels, these movable gas storage tanks still belong to fixed - type pressure vessels.When importing this type of electromechanical equipment, enterprises should clarify the attributes of special equipment goods and provide corresponding license documents for online verification.
According to the provisions of the Special Equipment Catalog, fixed - type pressure vessels need to meet certain parameters such as working pressure, volume, and inner diameter. Some of the containers judged as unqualified by the customs do not meet these conditions and therefore do not belong to special equipment. In fact, the reason these containers are returned or destroyed is that they are listed as used electromechanical products prohibited from import.
1) 问题的核心：Some enterprises often encounter a judgment of unqualified quality and safety by the customs during the arrival inspection stage when importing used forklifts, because these forklifts belong to special equipment, specifically special motor vehicles for on - site (factory) use.
2) 相关法规与误区：The misunderstanding here is to confuse the concepts of fixed pressure vessels and gas cylinders. According to the provisions of the Safety Technical Supervision Regulations for Fixed Pressure Vessels, these movable gas storage tanks still belong to fixed pressure vessels.

3) Suggestions for Avoiding Traps:
1) 问题的核心：Some enterprises often receive a judgment of unqualified quality and safety from the customs during the arrival inspection stage when importing used forklifts, because these forklifts belong to special equipment, specifically special motor vehicles within the yard (factory).
2) 相关法规与误区：The misunderstanding here lies in confusing the requirements for safety access and use management. According to the Announcement of the General Administration of Market Regulation on Matters Concerning the Administrative Licensing of Special Equipment, imported yard vehicles should pass the type test before being put into use.
3) 避坑建议：When importing forklifts, enterprises should clarify their attributes as special equipment and provide relevant certificates of type tests to the customs in accordance with relevant requirements.
Through the above analysis, when importing special equipment, enterprises should carefully study relevant regulations and requirements to avoid stepping into pitfalls during the inspection and supervision period. This not only helps ensure the quality and safety of imported equipment but also avoids unnecessary economic losses.
