Spare Parts

Spare Parts refer to components or parts separately procured or supplied for the repair, maintenance, or replacement of equipment, machinery, or components. They typically do not constitute the main body of the final product but ensure the continuous operation of the main equipment. In foreign trade, spare parts are commonly found in export contracts, after-sales service agreements, or warranty terms in industries such as mechanical equipment, automobiles, electronics, and industrial equipment. Usage scenarios include: exporting spare parts separately, supplying spare parts with the main machine, after-sales repair spare parts supply, free spare parts during the warranty period, etc. Notes: 1. The name, specifications, model, quantity, and unit price of spare parts must be clearly specified to avoid confusion with the main machine; 2. Spare parts may involve different tariff codes and regulatory conditions and must be declared separately; 3. Spare parts during the warranty period may be provided free of charge, but the party bearing freight, insurance, and tariffs must be agreed upon; 4. Distinction from 'Accessories': Accessories are usually additional items that enhance function or appearance, while spare parts are used for repair and replacement; Distinction from 'Wear Parts': Wear parts are the parts of spare parts that wear out faster and need more frequent replacement. Foreign trade practitioners should clearly distinguish spare parts from the main machine and accessories in contracts and clarify responsibilities and cost allocation.
