How much do you want to bet that arrangement was lobbied by AeA and the big 
boys?  Follow the money, or if you can't follow the money, figure out who 
benefits most by such arrangements.

Let's see: testing will be mandatory for whom?  Only those exporting to the 
Chinese market.  There's still no mechanism in place to guarantee that 
domestically produced products or those exported to "sister" companies will 
be treated in the same manner as those exported for direct placement on the 
market.  In fact, we now see that exports to China sister companies will not 
be treated the same way as others.  And who has the greatest presence in 
China's domestic production (sister companies)? Guess.

If you think this mess is being watched closely by the USTR and the US Gov, 
you might be right.  But don't think for a minute any of them will oppose 
any of it unless the big multinationals want something they can't get for 
themselves.  Otherwise, it's strictly "hands off".  Andyou know who will 
suffer?  US small and medium companies.

Exactly, so if the Chinese sister company is the end user it's a slam dunk
no paperwork no hassel  inside job................providing they have any
other same legal entity company outside of China that can buy the stuff and
then rightly transfer it as a wholly owned "asset"..............maybe I
should start an export business...8-)

Hi John,

I'm pretty sure the WTO is paying attention - the US and EU governments
certainly are - but not for this particular point.

If you sell something for internal use to your Chinese sister company or
subsidiary or whatever it is then this applies. If you're transferring it to
them for subsequent sale on the Chinese domestic market then they will have
to meet the requirements of China RoHS. What they are enforcing is the sale
to the end user.
