Compilation of Foreign Remanufactured Parts Import Restrictions

Restrictions on Imports of Remanufactured Parts:
US Department of Commerce, Office of Automotive Affairs Remanufactured Parts Global Report
EXPLANATION OF TABLE HEADINGS
This is a request for any types of restrictions on the imports of remanufactured parts such as a total ban, certain
manufacturers/importers (original equipment (OE) v.s. non original equipment) banned, etc.
Only Certain Remanufactured Parts Restricted:
Some countries will not allow certain parts (new or used) to be imported or apply additional regulations to particular
parts. In many cases, these are the more complex, higher-value components such as engines and transmissions.
Quotas or Limitations:
This question addresses whether there is a numerical or value limitation or quota on remanufactured parts in a particular
country.
Remanufactured Parts Treated as New, Used, or All the Same:
A few countries impose a lower rate of duty on used and/or remanufactured parts. Other countries question the
valuation of remanufactured/used parts because they believe the importer is undervaluing the part. (Note: this does not
address the same issue as question 1.)
Trade Potential:
Good: Relatively high number of U.S.-made vehicles in country and few,
Fair: Some U.S.-made vehicles in country and/or good potential for sale of
and/or supplies.
