第二波疫情改变了印度海关对中国医疗设备，特别是用于治疗和监测Covid-19患者的设备进行清关的方式。
进口商说，氧气浓缩器、血氧仪、呼吸机、个人防护装备和温度计等设备正在优先紧急清理。但来自中国的非医疗器械继续面临延迟放行的问题，去年以来，在与中国的边境紧张局势之后，情况就是这样。
印度海关正以前所未有的速度清关所有从中国进口的与科维德有关的医疗设备。这种紧迫感显而易见，”Gizmore首席执行官Sanjay Kalirona说。周日，该公司托运的制氧机和血氧仪在德里机场被海关在一小时内清关。
进口商说，由于印度的需求突然激增，大多数与Covid相关的医疗设备的中国供应商都提高了价格，不过他们也增加了产量。
BPL、Intex和Gizmore等已下订单的公司表示，如果印度企业希望立即获得氧气供应，中国制氧机制造商已将价格提高10-15%。
Intex董事Keshav Bansal表示，由于印度需求的突然增加，价格将上调我们相信供应商正在努力应对需求的激增。”。
中国是世界上最大的医疗设备生产国和印度最大的医疗设备采购国，包括Covid相关设备。
与此同时，在中国四川航空公司因印度Covid案件激增而暂停飞往印度的货运航班后，氧气浓缩器等关键设备的进口预计会出现一些中断。进口商说，这也可能提高价格，因为货物将通过其他城市重新运输。
但供应中断可能是最小的，因为大部分的供应来自深圳的工厂，这些工厂主要通过香港，在那里航班完全运作。
政府周一宣布，中央间接税和海关管理局(centralboard of Indirect Taxes and Customs)已设立了一个专门的服务台，负责处理与Covid有关的进口产品(包括氧气机)的查询，并负责该行业的快速通关。
该委员会发布了多条微博，内容涉及新德里、班加罗尔和孟买机场海关对制氧机、通风机、血氧计和温度计的紧急放行。
The second wave of the pandemic has brought a change to the way India’s customs department has been clearing Chinese medical equipment, especially devices used in the treatment and monitoring of Covid-19 patients.
Equipment such as oxygen concentrators, oximeters, ventilators, PPE kits and thermometers are being cleared on a priority and emergency basis, importers said. But non-medical devices coming from China continue to face delayed clearances, as has been the case since last year following the border tensions with China.
“Indian customs is working at a never-seen-before speed to clear all Covid-related medical equipment imported from China. The sense of urgency is clearly visible,” said Sanjay Kalirona, chief executive at Gizmore. The company’s consignment of oxygen concentrators and oximeters was cleared in an hour by the customs at the Delhi airport on Sunday.
Importers said most Chinese suppliers of Covid-related medical equipment have increased prices due to the sudden surge in demand from India, though they have also increased production.
Companies like BPL, Intex and Gizmore that have placed orders said Chinese manufacturers of oxygen concentrators have increased prices by 10-15% if Indian companies want immediate supplies.
Intex director Keshav Bansal said there is a price hike due to sudden increase in demand from India. “We believe the suppliers are trying to cope up with this surge in demand,” he said.
China is the world’s largest producer and India’s biggest sourcing nation for medical equipment including the Covid-related ones.
Meanwhile, some disruptions are expected in imports of critical devices like oxygen concentrators after Chinese airline Sichuan suspended its cargo flights to India because of the surge in Covid cases here. This, importers said, may also increase prices since the cargo will be re-routed through other cities.
But the supply disruptions are likely to be minimal since most of the supplies are from factories located in Shenzhen which largely transit through Hong Kong where flights are fully operational.
The government on Monday announced the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has set up a dedicated helpdesk to handle queries over Covid-related imports including oxygen machines, and handhold the trade for expeditious custom clearances.
The board posted multiple tweets about emergency clearances of oxygen concentrators, ventilators, oximeters and thermometers, by the customs at airports in New Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai.
