Repair Supply Chain

Repair Supply Chain refers to the supply chain system established to ensure the availability of spare parts, tools, technical documentation, and reverse logistics resources required for after-sales repair of sold products. Its core lies in achieving closed-loop operations by recovering, inspecting, repairing, remanufacturing, or scrapping damaged or faulty products. Use cases include: export of mechanical and electrical products, consumer electronics, construction machinery, and other industries requiring overseas after-sales support. Precautions: It is necessary to clarify the import and export customs declaration methods for repair parts (such as temporary import/export, bonded repair) to avoid confusion with general trade; at the same time, attention should be paid to repair cycles, tariffs, and rules of origin. The difference from forward supply chains is that its flow is reverse and it places greater emphasis on agility and cost control. Compared with 'reverse logistics,' repair supply chain focuses more on the repair activities themselves rather than mere returns.
