On March 16, 2026, the "Notice on Issuing the Implementation Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Trade-in in Heilongjiang Province in 2026" was officially released.

It was mentioned that "Internet + recycling" enterprises should be guided to expand the categories of recyclables, extending from traditional waste materials to waste industrial equipment, digital products, home appliances, etc.

Encourage the development of the "Internet + Secondhand" model, and guide secondhand goods trading platforms to develop new service models and expand their trading business. Support qualified regions in planning and constructing centralized and standardized secondhand goods trading markets. Improve systems for the management, evaluation, and appraisal of secondhand goods transactions, standardize secondhand goods trading behavior, and strengthen supervision of the transaction process.

Improve the standardization, refinement, and professionalism of recycling and dismantling, effectively prevent safety risks, and strengthen supervision and inspection of the entire recycling and dismantling process. Strengthen environmental law enforcement and supervision, and severely crack down on environmental violations. Implement the "reverse invoicing" system for resource recycling companies to sell scrapped products to individuals, and continuously strengthen daily supervision.

Compared to the policies of 2025 and earlier, which focused on encouraging the expansion of the recycling market, the policy development focus in Guangdong, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, and Heilongjiang in 2026 shifted to three dimensions: channel standardization and platformization, environmental management, and tax compliance. For the first time, the latest policies have strengthened the implementation of compliance at the provincial level, driving the local renewable resource recycling industry to move away from extensive incremental expansion and towards a comprehensive transformation towards refined and compliant operations.

The central government's ultra-long-term special treasury bond subsidies and the provincial government's proportional matching funds will be subject to total amount control, and will, in principle, cease once exhausted. During the implementation of the subsidy policy, the provincial-level leading departments in various fields will adjust the allocation through qualification verification and other means as needed. Any unused central government ultra-long-term special treasury bond subsidies and provincial government's proportional matching funds as of December 31, 2026, will be recovered. (The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, etc., are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(XVIII) Optimize Fund Allocation. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, in consultation with the Provincial Department of Finance and other provincial departments, shall ensure the proper allocation of funds for the "two new" subsidy policy supported by ultra-long-term special treasury bonds across various sectors. The leading provincial departments in each sector should comprehensively assess the effectiveness of the work of each city (prefecture) based on factors such as the stock or demand of subsidized goods in each city (prefecture), the implementation of the "two new" subsidy policy and funds in 2025, and issues discovered in audits, and reasonably determine the scale of funds allocated to each city (prefecture) within their respective sectors. The provincial finance department shall promptly disburse the funds in accordance with the fund allocation opinions and performance targets approved by the provincial government. If, after the funds have been allocated to a city (prefecture), they fail to achieve their intended benefits for various reasons, the leading provincial department shall promptly consult with the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance, and report the relevant situation to the provincial government. The fund allocation shall be adjusted upon the approval of the provincial government. For cross-departmental adjustments to fund allocation, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance shall organize the process. (The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, and the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(XIX) Standardize the use of funds. All cities (prefectures) and relevant provincial departments should scientifically formulate plans for the use and disbursement of subsidies for "new infrastructure" and "new urbanization," ensuring balanced monthly use and smooth transitions between weekly periods and across months and quarters to guarantee the smooth and orderly implementation of the subsidy policy throughout the year. Funds from the central government's ultra-long-term special treasury bonds supporting the trade-in of consumer goods will be used to implement the relevant subsidy policies outlined in this implementation plan. Provincial-level matching funds, if used for implementing the scrapping and replacement of automobiles, the trade-in of six types of home appliances, and the purchase of four types of digital and smart products as outlined in this implementation plan, must maintain consistency with this implementation plan in terms of subsidy standards and implementation methods; if used for implementing subsidies for the purchase of smart home products (including age-friendly home products), the specific subsidy categories and standards should be reasonably formulated based on actual conditions; furthermore, within the framework of the consumer goods trade-in policy, subsidy categories, subsidy standards, and implementation methods can be reasonably determined independently, encouraging priority support for the new generation of smart terminals outlined in the State Council's "Artificial Intelligence+" action plan, prioritizing products with high energy efficiency, water efficiency, and environmental protection levels, and reasonably determining the subsidy ratios and amounts for relevant categories with reference to the nationally unified subsidy policies in the four areas. (The Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, etc., are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(20) Strict Fund Supervision. Relevant departments shall, in accordance with their respective responsibilities, strengthen the supervision of the entire chain of "new social organizations" funds, and resolutely prevent problems such as untimely allocation, slow use, and misappropriation of funds. All cities (prefectures) and relevant provincial departments are the primary responsible entities for the management of "new social organizations" funds. They must effectively control the use of funds, strictly implement the centralized treasury payment system, firmly adhere to the red line and bottom line of fund use, and refrain from falsely listing expenditures, falsely reporting expenditures, or using appropriations as payment, to avoid the accumulation and idleness of funds. Cross-departmental data sharing should be strengthened. In conjunction with the subsidy data platforms already established by the central and provincial governments, data sharing channels should be established among departments such as commerce, transportation, agriculture and rural affairs, finance, public security, taxation, industry and information technology to achieve comparison and cross-verification of key data such as subsidy eligibility, new energy vehicle model information, vehicle registration information, commodity invoice information, logistics information, and fiscal expenditure information. Funds that do not meet the above requirements or violate financial discipline shall be promptly recovered, and relevant personnel shall be held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations. (The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Provincial Health Commission, the Provincial Department of Education, the Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, and the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs are responsible according to their respective duties.)

The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, playing its leading role in the joint meeting system for "two new" enterprises (new economic organizations and new social organizations), will work with the Provincial Department of Finance to optimize the implementation of "two new" policies through ultra-long-term special treasury bonds, and strengthen overall coordination and tracking. The Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and other departments will formulate detailed implementation rules for subsidies in different fields according to their respective responsibilities, clarifying the categories, standards, and implementation methods of subsidies, grasping the intensity and pace of policy implementation, and organizing all cities (prefectures) to implement relevant policies effectively. The people's governments (administrative offices) of all cities (prefectures) should, in light of their actual conditions, promptly organize implementation, solidify the responsibilities of all parties, strengthen coordination and promotion, and continuously amplify the effects of "two new" policies. (The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance, the Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, etc., are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(XXII) Creating a Fair Participation Environment. All cities (prefectures) and relevant provincial departments must treat online and offline businesses equally, as well as businesses of different ownership, registration locations, and scales, participating in large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-in programs. The list of participating businesses should be dynamically adjusted based on their compliance with regulations. A sound price monitoring mechanism for goods participating in subsidy programs should be established, promoting technologies such as real-name authentication and online verification of commodity codes. The authenticity and uniqueness of relevant information should be verified, and transaction information monitoring and price supervision should be strengthened to prevent fraudulent subsidy claims, "price increases followed by subsidies," and other illegal and irregular activities. Supervision of the entire process of subsidy review and fund disbursement should be strengthened, and illegally disbursed subsidy funds should be recovered promptly. Units and individuals suspected of illegal or criminal activities will be held accountable according to law. (The Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, and the Provincial Public Security Department are responsible according to their respective duties.)

(XXIII) Continuous Tracking and Evaluation. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with relevant provincial departments, will improve the scheduling, supervision, and evaluation mechanism for the implementation of the "two new" policies (new infrastructure and new urbanization), strengthen supervision of equipment upgrade projects, coordinate online monitoring and early warning with offline on-site verification, establish a regular scheduling mechanism, rely on the national major construction project database to conduct online monitoring and scheduling of project construction progress, increase on-site supervision, track the implementation of the consumer goods trade-in policy, urge the implementation of key tasks, and coordinate and resolve difficulties and bottlenecks. All cities (prefectures) and relevant provincial departments should conduct self-evaluations and self-inspections on policy implementation, project implementation, fund utilization, and achievement of performance targets, and promptly report to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance, and send copies of relevant information to the Provincial Department of Commerce, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and other departments. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission, in consultation with the Provincial Department of Finance, will compile a performance evaluation report, and the evaluation results will serve as an important basis for subsequent optimization of fund allocation. (Led by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance)

(XXIV) Strengthen Publicity and Guidance. All cities (prefectures) and relevant provincial departments should strengthen the publicity and interpretation of policies related to new economic and social developments, promptly release important documents, departmental work updates, and the work experiences of various cities (prefectures), fully utilize consumer rights hotlines and official platform supervision and complaint functions, respond promptly to public concerns, and announce policy adjustments to the public in advance. All cities (prefectures) should innovatively organize activities such as equipment upgrade supply and demand matching and special events to promote consumption through trade-in programs for old consumer goods, pushing equipment upgrade policies into enterprises, and subsidy activities into communities, enterprises, government agencies, and progress meetings, continuously improving the awareness and influence of policies benefiting enterprises and the people. The leading departments for subsidy policies in various fields should regularly summarize and release information on subsidy usage and the handling of violations through the provincial government affairs platform or a third-party platform entrusted and registered by the provincial government, improving the transparency of policy implementation and creating a positive social atmosphere. (The Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department, Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Provincial Finance Department, Provincial Industry and Information Technology Department, Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, Provincial Health Commission, Provincial Education Department, Provincial Commerce Department, Provincial Transportation Department, and Provincial Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department are responsible according to their respective duties.)
