　　Huan Ban [2004] No. 100

　　November 1， 2004

　　The Environmental Protection Bureaus （Departments） of all provinces， autonomous¹ regions and municipalities directly under the central government：

　　Since five ministries²， including the State Environmental Protection Administration， jointly³ issued the Interim⁴ Provisions for the Administration of Environmental Protection Regarding the Import of Waste Materials （Huan Kong （1996） No. 204） on April 1， 1996， a good effect of further strengthening the administration of environmental protection against the imported wastes and preventing the overseas wastes from entering into China has been achieved. But illegal import of waste and polluting events thus caused still occur sometimes. The scalping of both the waste， which can be used as raw material but falls within the category restricted from import （hereinafter referred to as “import of waste”）， and the approval certificate of import of waste is comparatively serious； some local environmental protection authorities， in examining the import of waste， violate rules and slack in the pass-holding； It is still common that there is a big gap between the real import quantity of waste and that approved. With a view to further strengthening the environment administration of waste import， standardizing⁵ the examination and approval of waste import and eliminating such illegal activities as scalping， etc， the related issues are thereby⁶ notified as follows：

　　1. All environmental protection authorities shall examine the application for import of waste strictly⁷ in accordance with the provisions of documents of Huan Ban [2003] No. 61， Huan Ban [2003] No. 69， Huan Ban [2004] No. 344. The provincial⁸ environmental protection bureaus （departments）， following the administrative⁹ procedures on import of waste， submit to the State Environmental Protection Administration for examination and approval of the annual approval quantity of processing and utilizing¹⁰ entities¹¹ after investigating the annual processing and utilizing capacity and the real production conditions of each entity¹². The quality in general shall not exceed the real import quantity of last year of each entity；

　　2. The environmental protection authorities at all levels must strengthen the supervision¹³ and administration of import of waste and carry out regularly examinations on the utilizing ability and utilizing state， pollution prevention and control measures of the processing and utilizing entities. Time limits to rectify¹⁴ and to carry out control measures shall be set for those that can not meet the prescribed requirements.

　　3. The administration of ports for import of waste shall be strengthened. The principle of proximity¹⁵ applies to the examination and approval of ports for import of waste. Each waste import approval certificate corresponds to a single import port. The import waste processing and utilizing entities in coastal¹⁶ provinces or municipalities shall not be approved to import waste through import ports of other provinces or municipalities； the import waste processing and utilizing entities in inland provinces or municipalities shall not be approved to import waste through import ports in Guangdong Province or Zhejiang Province；

　　4. As prescribed in the No.55 Announcement in 2004 of the Ministry¹⁷ of Commerce， The General Administration of Customs， the State Environmental Protection Administration， the import of the following 7 wastes by means of processing trade is forbidden：

　　（1） slag¹⁸， scruff， fire coat and other waste （26190000）；
