Foreign cars are forced to take the opportunity to collect money by measuring exhaust gas when they move in, and the formal invoices are "not mutually recognized", so it is difficult to do things without looking for an intermediary … … Recently, according to the clues reflected by the masses through the "internet plus Inspection" platform in the State Council, the third inspection team of the ninth inspection of the State Council found that there were multiple problems in the second-hand car trading in Harbin.
It is difficult to do the final inspection "inside and outside are different", the invoices "don’t recognize each other" and it is difficult to find an intermediary.
The masses reported that when the owners of second-hand cars went through the relevant formalities of moving from other places to Harbin, even if the environmental inspection and annual inspection of the vehicles were within the validity period, they were forced to carry out exhaust gas testing, otherwise they could not handle the transfer. However, the transfer of used cars in Harbin does not need to detect exhaust gas.
The staff of the inspection team made unannounced visits, accompanied several car owners to several motor vehicle registration service stations in Daoli District and Songbei District of Harbin, and dmv, the traffic control department of the public security organ, and were all told that if vehicles outside Harbin move in, the vehicle exhaust must be tested, and the relevant test report should be issued by the testing agency, and the transfer registration can only be carried out if the test results are qualified. Members of the inspection team saw at the scene that a car owner had paid the 180 yuan inspection fee.

According to the data provided by the Traffic Police Corps of Heilongjiang Provincial Public Security Department, the number of foreign cars transferred to Harbin in 2021 was 55,575. According to the inspection team, these vehicles are tested for exhaust gas in Harbin, and the charges for each vehicle range from 80 yuan to 240 yuan.
In addition, some people reported to the inspection team that some motor vehicle registration service stations take advantage of the special advantages of issuing invoices for used car transactions and assisting in handling motor vehicle registration business, and only recognize the transaction invoices issued by their own markets, and refuse to handle business, which creates obstacles to the free trading of used cars.
Members of the inspection team took the formal invoices issued by other used car markets and went to Harbin Hongda International Automobile City Motor Vehicle Registration Service Station and Guangquan Motor Vehicle Registration Service Station to handle the transfer business, but they were all rejected. Asked about the specific reasons, the staff said, "You paid the money elsewhere, printed the invoice, and then came to me to do business, but you didn’t give me the money. How can I recognize your invoice?"

According to the service telephone provided on the "Traffic Management 12123”App, the inspection team randomly selected the Guancheng Motor Vehicle Registration Service Station and Yuanpeng Motor Vehicle Registration Service Station in Harbin for telephone consultation, and found that there was a widespread problem of mutual non-recognition of invoices among service stations.
Under various obstacles, second-hand car trading can’t move without intermediary. A second-hand car buyer said that in Harbin, if the intermediary company is not paid a "service fee", it is very difficult for individuals to complete the transfer procedures.
The inspection team found that many motor vehicle registration service stations and agency agencies often charge a package of "service fees" in the name of invoicing, exhaust gas detection, vehicle inspection, transfer, licensing, etc., with prices ranging from 100 yuan to 500 yuan.
The implementation of policies and regulations is not in place, and the regulatory obligations are not fulfilled.
The inspection team said that since the beginning of this year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have issued a series of documents, emphasizing that unreasonable and discriminatory access and exit conditions should not be set to restrict the free flow of goods, services and factor resources; It is clearly required to steadily increase mass consumption such as automobiles and completely cancel the policy of restricting the movement of used cars. Relevant departments in Harbin failed to update their service functions and norms in accordance with the new national policies, resulting in poor market circulation and a burden on the people.
In view of the difficulty in mutual recognition of unified invoices, industry insiders said that some motor vehicle registration service stations in Harbin refused to recognize transaction invoices issued by other markets for their own profits for various reasons, reflecting that local authorities failed to effectively perform their supervision and management functions while delegating power, which disrupted the order of the used car trading market.
In addition, the inspection team indicated that there were many problems in circulation management in harbin used car, involving a wide range, which troubled the people for many years, but the local commercial and public security departments involved turned a blind eye, reflecting to some extent that the relevant departments failed to keep up with the supervision while delegating power.
Clean up and rectify arbitrary charges and simplify trading links
The inspection team suggested that the relevant localities should improve their political positions, further improve the rules and regulations, strengthen the daily supervision and management of motor vehicle registration service stations, clean up and rectify the problems of adding restrictions on moving, non-mutual recognition of invoices and opaque fees in the field of second-hand car trading, simplify the second-hand car trading links, and enhance the convenience and sense of acquisition of people in handling related businesses.
It is reported that at present, relevant departments in Harbin have put forward rectification plans for corresponding problems and standardized the used car trading market.
The Harbin Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment issued a notice, requiring all motor vehicle exhaust testing institutions in the city to stop the inspection and testing of foreign used cars that meet the national emission standards of air pollutants for motor vehicles in use and are within the validity period of motor vehicle emission inspection.
Harbin Municipal Bureau of Public Security and Traffic Management clarifies the requirements for the circulation of invoices for used car transactions to all motor vehicle registration service stations. After review, the relevant invoices issued by non-local markets will normally handle relevant business for motor vehicle owners, and they shall not shirk or refuse to handle them on the grounds of non-local market issuance; At the same time, Harbin Public Security Traffic Management Bureau also put forward relevant requirements for the standardized construction of motor vehicle registration service stations.
