In an interview with the reporter of "Daily Economic News", Deputy General Secretary of the China-Europe Association, Yang, said: "The 'three guarantees' of parallel imported vehicles in the future will enforce the filing system, which is important to promote the landing of the 'three guarantees' of parallel imported vehicles. Guarantee."
"With the development of parallel import business, the role of breaking the monopoly of multinational auto companies has become increasingly apparent. Multinational auto companies have begun to open to single-car models to parallel importers, and the latter can obtain sources from the official channels of multinational corporations." Dai Jun .
The reporter was informed that the companies that have been released for parallel imported models include GM, Ford and other multinational automakers, but most of them are allowed to be imported and personalized. The industry believes that multinational car companies are the green light for parallel imports of niche models and modified models. Although it does not affect their sales volume in China and the parallel import market, the significance of multinational companies testing parallel import markets cannot be ignored.
A person in charge of parallel import auto trade said: "Some department regulations do not allow the sale of used cars, which is an important factor hindering the parallel import pilot of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Such clauses are likely not to be parallel in the Tianjin Free Trade Zone. The extension of the import pilot, which removes the restriction of parallel imported vehicles from the policy level."
Multinational car companies released some models recently, a person familiar with the matter told the reporter of "Daily Economic News": "With the parallel importation, GM has opened up the purchase channels for some individualized or modified models, and parallel importers can directly Imported from official channels of GM abroad."
Although the person in charge did not disclose the parallel imported models of GM, according to the statistics of the reporters, the current GM parallel imported models are limited, including only a few models such as GMC and Escalade.
The relevant person in charge of GM (China) told reporters: "At present, GM (China) has not grasped this news, which needs further confirmation with the US headquarters." But as of press time, GM did not give further replies.
In addition, a person in charge of a parallel import company in Tianjin Port said: “Not only GM, Ford also partially opened up for China’s parallel imports, and the public is also mulling a similar approach, but the vehicles that are released are only niche, individuality. Model."
Wang Cun, senior manager of SINOMACH's marketing department, said that “(national automakers) have opened green lights for parallel imports of some niche models and modified cars because of the small scale of sales of such models and will not affect authorized sales channels. ."
Some analysts believe that in the current import car dealers Lee Luan slope, niche models have very little annual sales, the handling of 3C certification and other procedures need to pay higher costs, the dealer's sales enthusiasm has been affected, therefore, through parallel import channels It is also a good choice to sell such models.
Although this practice will not have a significant impact on the sales of GM and other multinational car companies in China, it is of great significance for the parallel import industry, which means that the supply problem of the US car is solved.
At the beginning of this year, with the continuous increase in parallel import sales, many multinational auto companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar Land Rover have restricted this form of trade from various sources through various means.
Since the beginning of this year, BMW has increased the displacement of the BMW X5, the main model of the parallel imported car, from 2996ml to 3004ml. Statistics show that the comprehensive tax rate of a car after the increase in displacement has increased from 66.19% to 95%. As the price advantage is no longer, the sales of parallel imported cars have also been greatly affected.
According to the statistics of the Imported Auto Market Information Association, the US-standard car camp consisting of the BMW X5 and other major models has lost less than 20% of its sales in parallel imports in the first two months of this year. This ratio reaches 50%.
The restrictions on vehicle sources are expected to break. At the time when some of the multinational automakers tried their best, the restrictions imposed by the Tianjin Free Trade Zone Port on the supply of parallel imported vehicles were further loosened.
A person in Beijing who is engaged in parallel import auto trade said: "In the Tianjin Free Trade Zone, a parallel import vehicle pilot was launched, and the vehicle that has been registered abroad has been banned from entering China. This article is no longer used."
The above provisions are derived from the revised provisions of the “Automobile Brand Sales Management Measuresâ€, which have been considered by the auto industry to restrict the parallel importation of vehicles from the United States and other countries into the Chinese market in disguise.
A parallel importer of Tianjin Port said: “Since the Tianjin Port’s standard for the identification of used cars is the number of kilometers traveled by the vehicle, not whether it is registered abroad.†According to local regulations, the mileage is within 300 km. The vehicles are all identified as "new cars."
The above-mentioned people believe that as Tianjin is the largest concentration of parallel imports, the sales of local parallel imported cars account for about 90% of the total sales of parallel imports. In resolving the actual problems of the current imported car sales, the relevant implementation rules for the parallel import of Tianjin Free Trade Zone should not completely copy the practice of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
According to the "Notice on Piloting Parallel Imported Cars in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, pilot enterprises and auto dealers registered in the Free Trade Zone may not import used cars or illegally modified vehicles. According to a previous investigation by the reporter, this practice actually imposed restrictions on the parallel import of American cars in the purchase chain. Because the US standard car must go through the tax formalities at the time of appearance, that is, it is registered abroad, such vehicles entering the Shanghai Free Trade Zone are recognized as "old cars."
Yan Jinghui, deputy general manager of Beijing Beichen Asian Games Village Auto Trading Market, said: "The current revised regulations for the implementation of automobile brand sales management have also carried out similar regulations. Since the release of this news at the end of last year, the import of American cars has been very Great impact, and such vehicles were previously an important part of the parallel imported car market."
According to media reports, in the first half of the year, 17 companies in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone had less than 100 parallel imported orders, while the actual number of delivery vehicles was only a few dozen. A person in charge of a parallel import dealer in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone said that only a dozen parallel imported cars were sold in the first half of the year.
Therefore, whether it is GM and other multinational car companies acquiesced to import some models in parallel, or the Tianjin Free Trade Zone parallel import vehicle pilot policy to change the direction, is an important way to crack the issue of parallel imported car source.
