BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — China will take corresponding measures on some medical equipment imported from the European Union (EU) under government procurement projects in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the Ministry of Finance said Sunday.

When purchasing medical equipment worth more than 45 million yuan (about 6.29 million US dollars), if there is a real need to purchase imported products, the purchaser must exclude the participation of European Union enterprises – except for enterprises with foreign investment from the EU operating in China – after completing the procedures established by law, the ministry said.

For non-EU companies participating in public procurement projects, the share of medical equipment imported from the EU that they provide must not exceed 50% of the total amount in the project contract.

The above measures do not apply to procurement projects in which the need for goods can be met only by means of medical equipment imported from the EU, the Finance Ministry said in a statement.

This notification comes into force on July 6, 2025. With respect to procurement projects for which the winners of the tenders or the results of the transactions have already been announced before July 6 of this year, the above measures do not apply, and the corresponding public procurement contracts can continue to be signed, the ministry said in a statement. -0-
