China is poised to restrict the export of motorcycles in an attempt to end criticism that there are too many firms producing machines that are not always of good quality.
From 1st March 2006, motorcycle makers will have to pass certain quality standards. They also must have achieved a minimum export value of US$500,000 in 2004, or must have sold over 30,000 motorcycles in the domestic market during that same year. Trading companies will be allowed to export only when they have been authorized by qualified manufacturers.
China is expected to have exported over seven million motorcycles in 2005.
