What does customs-cleared motorcycle mean?
2 Answers
Customs-cleared motorcycle refers to motorcycles that have undergone normal customs clearance procedures with taxes paid and obtained mandatory 3C certification. Here is relevant information about motorcycles: 1. Types of motorcycle licenses: Currently, China has three types of motorcycle licenses: F, E and D. The F license only permits riding light motorcycles with engine displacement below 50CC, but this license is rarely pursued. The E license allows riding any two-wheeled motorcycle without displacement restrictions. The D license permits riding all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. Therefore, holding an E license enables riding all two-wheeled motorcycles, as there is no separate license specifically for large-displacement motorcycles. 2. The concept of motorcycles: Motorcycles are two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles powered by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, flexible, fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serve as sports equipment.
I guess you might be asking about the customs and trade procedures for imported motorcycles, specifically those that go through customs declaration and tax payment. As motorcycle enthusiasts, we all know that some friends buy bikes from abroad, but the process is particularly cumbersome. First, you need to handle the customs declaration form, then pay import duties and VAT, with tax rates ranging from 20% to 40% depending on the engine displacement. For whole vehicle imports, you also need to obtain 3C certification, and for aftermarket parts, you have to check if they comply with national standards. The most frustrating part is the customs clearance time, which can sometimes take over half a month. That’s why many people prefer to spend a bit more money and hire a professional agency to handle it, saving themselves the hassle of dealing with customs.
