Export of used machinery to India: Chartered Engineer Certificate (CEC)

Media Pool - M-195384

Repaired spare parts and used machines require a Chartered Engineer Certificate (CEC) for export to India.

The regulatory basis is the Indian Ministry of Finance's publication No. 25/2015 of October 2015, according to which the value of the machine must be determined by an approved inspection service provider. If no CEC is presented, the goods may be rejected or blocked for a longer period of time by Indian customs authorities.

Please note the following aspects for the issue of a CEC certificate:
