Import quotas on New Year's Day to cancel imported cars rush to sing early to cut prices


From January 1, 2005, China will cancel the import license management of automobiles, their key components, and optical disc production equipment. Yesterday, we learned that the effect of the soon-to-be cancelled quota permits and the impending decline in tariffs is that the imported cars in the Shanghai market are rushing to drop prices and shipments earlier, and the Japanese car that has fallen most violently has become nearly 100,000 yuan less than two months ago. yuan. License management is divided into two kinds of quota license management and automatic license management. Automatic license management is generally just for registration, total statistics, and bid is relatively easy. At present, imported agricultural products such as broilers and imported industrial products such as computers and watches need to apply for automatic licenses. For the license that is about to be cancelled, the person concerned has described it as a "movie ticket that opened." The bid for imported vehicle quota permits was quite difficult in the past. There were also a large number of “yellow cattle” that had speculative licenses on foreign markets. In the past, for a relatively long period of time, the “permit fee” that was spent on the grounds of “cooperation” was at a minimum of about 40,000 yuan, and it had risen to 100,000 yuan the previous year. In February last year, it cost about 140,000 yuan each, and at the end of last year, the “high price” was soared to as much as 150,000 yuan. However, after news of the imminent cancellation of imported vehicle quotas in the fourth quarter of this year, the permit soon became scarce. An industry insider who did not want to reveal his identity revealed that the "certificate fee" for importing off-road vehicles two months ago still costs 56 to 60,000 yuan. The car has to spend 3 to 40,000 yuan and the van has 12 to 20 thousand yuan. Today, in addition to importing off-road vehicles have to spend a little "certificate fees", privately thrown imported cars, van permits, is the asking price of 1,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan no one is reasonable. In the past two months, the license for imported vehicles “has been turbulent” and the import price has fallen steadily. An expert who has long been engaged in the sales of imported vehicles stated that the retail price of the BMW 745i at the end of October was about 1.27 million yuan, and yesterday the price was already below 1.22 million yuan. The price of Japan's Camry 2.4L was 350,000 yuan in October, and yesterday the price dropped to 328,000 yuan. Nissanma importers and distributors have suffered the worst losses. The original import cost was nearly 700,000 yuan. Two months ago, the retail price could only reach 670,000 yuan. Now it is even more despicable, and it is difficult to sell if it drops to 570,000 yuan. . According to relevant sources, the "quota license" for imported cars may be changed to "automatic license." It is understood that the current implementation of automatic license management of agricultural products are broilers, wine, plywood, chemical fiber cloth, etc., mechanical and electrical categories are computers, printers, servers, mobile phones, watches, motorcycles, video cameras, cameras and so on. In the past two years, almost all of these imported goods that have been “automatically licensed” to enter the market and compete with domestically produced similar goods have sang "downgrading," and some have gone after each wave to promote low-cost promotions, and some have simply dropped their prices. An expert who has conducted a comparative study of domestic and foreign auto prices believes that although there are still some uncertainties, the cheaper imported vehicles next year can be said to be “iron nails”.
