Forklift & Construction Machinery Import
Machinery safety, noise emission and used-goods permit processes for forklifts, pallet trucks, cranes and construction machinery.
Related HS chapters
Chapter information is indicative; the actual obligation depends on the product's function.
Forklifts and construction machinery are assessed under both the Machinery Safety Regulation and the noise emission rules for equipment used outdoors. Because most imports in this category are second-hand, the process usually runs alongside a used-goods import permit.
What this service covers

- Ministry of Trade permit application for used machinery
- Management of additional certification requirements for lifting equipment
