Many manufacturer ask for an exemption of the CCC certificate to avoid CCC Certification.It is possible for some CCC mandatory products to be imported into China without certification if they meet certain exemption criteria. The applicable regulations must be examined so that there will not be any issue with customs clearance despite the exemption status.

It is important to check if a product requires CCC prior to the application for the exemption. Please keep in mind that the HS Code is not sufficient for determine CCC obligations. The HS Code or the respective customs tariff number, is often mistakenly used by manufacturers as the only indicator to determine the CCC obligation of products or individual components. This frequently results in goods being detained at Chinese customs. For a reliable determinations of a product’s CCC obligation, the product should be analyzed according to its specific product functions and performance.

Application for CCC Exemptions

There is a lot of erroneous information regarding what qualifies for exemption, how to apply and what supporting documents are required. Sorting this out can be difficult for a manufacturer, so it is suggested to be sure that the product does in fact qualify. Even if the product meets the criteria for exemption, it is not a given that exemption status will be accepted by customs.

Some possible exemptions include, but are not limited to, products that meet the following criteria:

• Products used for science purpose and product tests
• Products that are used as an exhibit at fairs
• Products that will be exported out of China again (must show proof)
• Products that are used for manufacturing other products and are not sold on the Chinese market
• Products that are imported in small volume for maintenance (low volume exemption)
• Equipment parts (excluding office supplies) required for the complete production line of the factory production line.
  
• Parts and components required for the introduction of production line for the purpose of assessment technology.
