Medical Network June 19 News of Sino-US trade war, still continue, and also involved in medical equipment products.

of tariffs.

The announcement pointed out that the US side of this measure violates the rules of the World Trade Organization, contrary to the consensus reached between China and the United States, seriously violating our legitimate rights and interests, threatening our country and people's interest.

According to the PRC Foreign Trade law, the People's Republic of China Import and export customs regulations Regulations and the basic principles of international law, China also imposes the same tariffs on goods of the same amount as the United States.

The United States, like the United States, has imposed tariffs on about 34 billion U.S. dollars of goods since July 6, 2018, and has started soliciting public opinion on the imposition of tariffs on about $16 billion trillion of goods. China, for agricultural products, automobiles, aquatic products and other 545 items, since July 6, 2018, the imposition of tariff;

For chemicals, medical equipment, energy products, such as 114 items, the imposition of tariff implementation time to be announced separately.

That is to say, the timing of tariffs imposed on U.S. import-related medical equipment should be carried out with the American rhythm.

China imposes tariffs on medical devices in the United States, including the following six items:

90181310 nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment

90181930 Patient Monitoring Apparatus

90185000 other instruments and apparatus for ophthalmic use

90189099 Items 90.18 unspecified Medical, surgical or veterinary instruments and apparatus

90221400 other medical, surgical or veterinary X-ray application equipment

90229090 other equipment and parts listed in heading 90.22, annex

Among these 6 items, the most concerned is the ' nuclear Magnetic resonance imaging kit ', which means that the import of the machine will levy a 25% tariff. According to "China Medical equipment" and other 8 institutions published in late March this year, in the domestic market share of MRI products, Germany's Siemens accounted for 35.1%, the United States, General Electric accounted for 30.4%, the Netherlands Philips accounted for 22%, Japan's canon accounted for 10.7%, China's east soft accounted for 7.4%,

China's shadow accounted for 1.1%, others accounted for 0.5%. From the above can be seen, once the U.S. nuclear magnetic Resonance machine Import levy 25% tariff, the most likely to be affected by WHO, we all understand. Beneficiaries are the corresponding competitors.

And in the context of import substitution accelerated, domestic brand opportunities will be greater? and guardianship market share, Mai Rui as high as 64.8%, Philips accounted for 17.7%, General Electric Point 3.8%, State, Ballett, Optoelectronics, Kingman, etc. enjoy the remaining share.

There is no one to see for the United States Enterprise Have a greater impact.

Last December, the Ministry of Finance, the NDRC, the Ministry of Customs, the general administration of Taxation, the Energy bureau has jointly issued a text-"on the adjustment of the import tax policy on major technical equipment related to the catalogue of the notice," decided since January 1, 2018 on the major technical equipment import tax policy three of the catalogue adjustment In order to implement the relevant requirements of the State Council on the adjustment and revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry, 2009, the Ministry of Finance and other 6 departments jointly issued a major technical equipment import tax policy, to meet the requirements of domestic enterprises for the production of national support for the development of major technical equipment or products are necessary to import some of the

Exemption from tariffs and import value-added tax.

In the first few years after the implementation of the policy, medical equipment did not have access to products, did not enjoy the key parts and raw materials duty-free preferential treatment, but are temporarily exempt from tax.

In December 2015, three catalogs were revised again, and for the first time, three medical equipment products were incorporated into the country's major technical equipment and catalogue for development, thus benefiting from the duty-free benefits of imports of some key parts and raw materials by domestic enterprises.

The new seven products included include: Digital mammography, medical angiography X-ray machine, mammography diagnostic system, DR, MRI or CT guided real-time navigation equipment, medical electron linear accelerator, hemodialysis machine.

At present, a total of 10 medical equipment products, the first to enjoy the country's spare parts and raw materials tax policy, such as Dr's dynamic plate, breast X-ray detector, superconducting magnetic resonance magnet, pet-ct photoelectric multiplier and silicon photoelectric conversion chip, etc., are in the duty-free ranks.

This is undoubtedly good for domestic manufacturers to expand the import of key components and raw materials, and reduce costs, speed up technology and Product quality Transformation and upgrading, accelerate the substitution of domestic imports.

In the future, no surprises, as one of the key development areas of China's manufacturing, there will be more Medical equipment Products are gradually incorporated into major technical equipment and product catalogs, enjoy the spare parts and raw materials duty-free benefits.
