US Department of Commerce, Office of Automotive Affairs Remanufactured Parts Global Report Remanufactured/rebuilt parts are considered used parts. Although, according to the commercial legislation, used motor parts do not require certification, customs may ask for some certificate from a Ukrainian certifying body verifying that the used or remanufactured parts are in a condition fit for use in vehicle repair. American firms are recommended to contact the certification agencies listed in the contact information chapter below to get all necessary paperwork prior to shipping to Ukraine. Remanufacturing of motor parts in Ukraine is not well-developed and is limited to small repair, car service and maintenance centers. Large car/truck fleets usually perform such services themselves, thus disposing of the vehicles no longer able to be repaired and maintaining their aging automotive fleet. Automotive shops and car maintenance centers buy parts directly from individuals or private owners of obsolete or disposed cars, or at automotive flea-markets in major Ukrainian cities. It is hard for owners of foreign cars to find individual parts in small Ukrainian cities or towns, because spare parts traders usually trade in components rather than particular parts. The market for automotive parts is currently in flux, as many gas stations are trying to open full-service and maintenance centers. Both remanufactured parts and remanufactured equipment would sell in Ukraine. Potential customers for parts could be automotive shops, repair centers, gas stations, and trading companies. The best method for entering the Ukrainian market is to contract with a local wholesaler to supply large quantities, because freight costs can reduce the venture=s commercial viability. Equipment for remanufacturing parts could also be sold to car service centers and small repair shops. Through various U.S. Department of Commerce programs and export promotion services, post would be pleased to help U.S. firms wishing to enter the Ukrainian market.

It was decided that such legislation would curb competition and consumer choice. In the U.K. the remanufacturing industry is well developed. Overall, the market for replacement parts whether remanufactured or rebuilt is relatively static as original parts continue to last longer. Best prospects for U.S. suppliers are for rotating electric motors (starters and alternators) and for friction products such as brakes and clutches, though the brake market largely concentrates on commercial vehicles. There are no restrictions on the importation of remanufactured, rebuilt and/or used motor vehicle parts of any kind. There are no quotas or limitations, special treatment or conditions applicable to the importation of remanufactured, rebuilt and/or used motor vehicle parts. Remanufactured/rebuilt parts are considered by H.M. Customs and Excise to be new parts and rates of duty are determined as such. 80
