Import and export battery registration laws and regulations. The state stipulates that registration applicants for import and export battery products (manufacturers, importers and exporters, or import agents, etc.) should apply for registration to the relevant inspection and quarantine agencies before importing battery products; Manufacturers of exported battery products should apply to the local inspection and quarantine agency for filing before exporting the battery products. The working procedure is mainly based on: the former State Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau Guo Quan Quan [2000] No. 244 "Mercury Content Inspection and Supervision Measures for Imported and Exported Battery Products" The enterprise submits an application---review---sample testing according to regulations---- -Issue the "Battery Registration Letter". The declaration requires the legal representative of the registration applicant to authorize the handling personnel (specific name) to handle the registration. Make a declaration of mercury content and the manufacturer's written description of the battery product's structure, electrochemical system (positive and negative electrode chemical reaction equations must be provided), brand, specification model, origin, appearance and markings. Tips: If the export battery product applied for is not the applicant’s own brand, a licensing agreement with the owner of the brand should be provided. Handling department: Local Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (please consult for details) Simple process: Registration applicant: Export registration is applied for by the export battery manufacturer. Import registration can be applied for by the imported battery manufacturer, importer or import agent. 2. Filing application and providing documents: 1.

Article 3 The State Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the State Inspection and Quarantine Bureau) is responsible for the inspection and supervision of mercury content in imported and exported batteries nationwide. This method is divided into responsibilities for the registration and daily inspection and supervision of imported and exported battery products in the jurisdiction. Article 4 Inspection and quarantine agencies shall implement a registration and special testing system for mercury content on imported and exported battery products. Battery products that have not been registered or have failed mercury content testing are not allowed to be imported or exported. Chapter 2 Registration and Mercury Content Testing Article 5 Registration applicants for imported battery products (manufacturers, importers or import agents, etc.) shall apply to the relevant inspection and quarantine agencies for registration before importing battery products; manufacturers of exported battery products Before exporting battery products, you must apply for registration with the local inspection and quarantine agency.

When registering import and export battery products, the following documents should be submitted and the "Import and Export Battery Product Registration Application Form" (hereinafter referred to as the "Record Application Form") should be submitted: (1) A letter of authorization from the legal representative authorizing the handling personnel to handle the registration; (2) ) The importer or import agent of imported battery products, and the "Enterprise Legal Person Business License" (copy) of the export battery product manufacturer; (3) A statement from the imported battery product manufacturer that the mercury content of its products complies with Chinese laws and regulations; ( 4) The battery manufacturer's written description of the battery product's structure, electrochemical system, brand, specifications and models, origin, appearance and markings. (5) Other information required by the inspection and quarantine agency. Article 6 After accepting the filing application, the inspection and quarantine agency shall review whether the imported and exported battery products are mercury-containing battery products. After review, the "Import and Export Battery Product Registration Form" can be directly issued for battery products that do not contain mercury; for battery products that contain mercury and must pass testing to determine whether they contain mercury, special testing for mercury content is required. Article 7 Special testing of mercury content (1) Testing unit Special testing of mercury content shall be carried out by a laboratory approved by the State Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to carry out mercury content testing of imported and exported battery products (hereinafter referred to as the "Mercury Content Testing Laboratory"). (2) Sampling 1. For exported battery products, the inspection and quarantine agency that accepts the filing application shall go to the battery product manufacturing plant for sampling; 2. For imported battery products, the import filing applicant shall submit samples to the inspection and quarantine agency that accepts the filing application; Number of samples to be sent: no less than 30 samples of the same brand, same specifications and models, and the same origin; 3. The inspection and quarantine agency that accepts the filing application will randomly select 10 samples of the same brand, specification, model, and origin and seal them, and fill in the "Sampling/Sealing/Sample Delivery List". The original list and the sample taken will be submitted to the "Mercury" by the applicant. Content testing laboratory" testing. (3) Sample testing and determination of test results. The testing of mercury content in imported and exported mercury-containing battery products and the determination of test results shall be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations and standards. (4) Issuance of relevant documents 1. After the samples are tested and qualified, the "Mercury Content Testing Laboratory" will issue a "Confirmation of Qualification of Mercury Content Testing of Battery Products" (hereinafter referred to as the "Confirmation"); after the samples are tested, if the mercury content of one sample is unqualified, then the sample will be deemed to be unqualified.
