China Announces Online Export Licensing System for Autos

China is launching a new online declaration process for exporters of automobiles and motorcycles beginning Sept. 5, the country’s commerce ministry said this week, according to an unofficial translation. Exporters and manufacturers will use the system to upload information about their shipments and obtain export licenses. “If it is found that an enterprise provides false materials, it will notify, warn, suspend or cancel its qualification to engage in automobile or motorcycle export according to relevant regulations,” the ministry said.
