Procedure
Procedure
- Approval Difficulty High
A procedure, such as establishing a corporation, a business plan or a transfer, that takes effect only when the authority reviews and approves it. The authority has wide discretion, so a well-prepared business plan and supporting evidence are important.
- Notification Difficulty Low
You submit the statutory report form and required documents. Once the documents are in order the report is accepted; for some reports the authority checks the contents before accepting it.
We will prepare documents for the relevant route among type approval, type declaration, and same type import declaration for imported construction machinery. If necessary, we will prepare application materials for emissions, noise, and confirmation inspections.
Scope & fee
- Import notification documents for an identical type only
- We will prepare an import declaration form for imported construction equipment in the same format as the existing approval/declaration format. Existing types, specifications, and shipping data are provided, and new type approval, reporting, emission, noise certification, and actual vehicle inspection are separate.
- New model notification documents only
- We will prepare application documents for construction equipment type 1 subject to new type report. Specifications, appearance, safety, and after-sales service data are provided, and type approval, emissions, noise certification, and actual vehicle testing are separate.
- New type-approval application documents only
- We will prepare application documents for construction equipment type 1 subject to new type approval. Proof of specifications, technology, testing, and after-sales service is provided, and technical testing, design, and separate applications for emission and noise certification are not included.
- Type approval, emissions, noise and confirmation-inspection documents (1 type)
- We will prepare application documents for type approval, exhaust gas, noise, and confirmation inspection for construction equipment type 1. Based on the provision of completed technology and test data, we include two data comparison visits in the the Seoul metropolitan area area. The test/inspection itself and additional forms/visits are separate.
- 01
Classify the machine: Check the machine type and travel system (crawler or wheel) to decide whether it requires type approval or falls under the type-report list in Article 11 of the Enforcement Decree, and check whether the R&D or export exception applies.
- 02
Check existing types: Before shipment, confirm whether the same manufacturer and model type has already been approved or reported in Korea. If so, prepare a same-type import report; if it is a new type, prepare a type report or type approval application.
- 03
Cross-check the specification sheet and technical data: Compare the construction machinery specification sheet (Form No. 3 series), the external view drawing, and the test reports or certificates issued by the manufacturer or an accredited testing institute against the items of the Rules on Safety Standards for Construction Machinery.
- 04
Prove after-sales service capacity: When reporting the type for the first time, prepare documents showing the after-sales facilities and technical personnel required by Article 56 and Annex 13 of the Enforcement Rule, together with how spare parts and maintenance data will be supplied.
- 05
File the report: Submit Form No. 26 with attachments to the Korea Transportation Safety Authority or an inspection agent. A same-type import report attaches the specification sheet and a copy of the shipping documents; a type report attaches the external view drawing and safety-standard conformity documents.
- 06
Inspection and registration after acceptance: If a confirmation inspection is taken after acceptance, the machine is deemed to have passed the new registration inspection. Apply for registration with the city or province within 2 months of acquisition (for imports for sale, from the date of sale), and file a change report when type details change.

If a machine that requires type approval, such as a wheel-type excavator or loader, is prepared as a type report, the filing has to start over, so confirm the travel system and the applicable procedure before shipment. Unless a change is a minor one under Article 45 of the Enforcement Rule (cab shape, tire size, or parts that do not affect performance), do not omit the change report.
