Recently, the nation's first "Global Bonded Repair for Medical Devices" project was officially launched in Xiamen Free Trade Zone, expanding the scope of bonded repair services from "domestic only" to "global reach." Bonded repair allows companies in special customs-supervised zones, such as comprehensive bonded areas, to import goods for inspection and repair, deferring both import duties and other import-related taxes until re-export, without requiring tax guarantees, thereby effectively easing cash flow pressures for companies.
The pilot project will further integrate domestic companies into global high-end medical device supply chains, enhancing the after-sales maintenance capabilities of Chinese-made medical devices and providing more convenient after-sales service support for the overseas expansion of advanced domestic medical devices. Currently, 13 companies in the Xiamen Free Trade Zone engage in bonded repair services, covering products such as aircraft and components, computers, circuit boards, and headphones.
