印度尚未决定是否取消基于海外认证的废金属进口规定，这符合一些回收商的要求，他们支持在印度港口进行国内检验。
India has yet to decide whether to discontinue scrap import rules based on overseas certification, in line with a demand from a group of recyclers that backs domestic inspection at Indian ports instead.
据路透社9月28日报道，一个主要的回收商组织在请愿书中指出，全球缺乏足够的检验机构是印度应改在境内港口进行检验的原因。
In a petition, a leading recyclers’ body cited the lack of an adequate number of agencies globally as a reason for India, a leading recycler of scrap, to switch to screening at domestic ports, Reuters reported on Monday, September 28.”
印度贸易部下属的对外贸易总局向路透社表示，尚未决定取消装运前检验的要求，并正在考虑回收商组织——印度材料回收协会的意见，同时表示愿意进一步放宽合规要求。
No decision has been taken to discontinue the pre-shipment inspection requirement,” the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, a part of India’s trade ministry, told Reuters in a statement.
该机构称，目前装运前检验和目的港检验具有不同的目的，不能互相替代。
It was weighing the representation from the recyclers’ body, the Material Recycling Association of India, and was open to further easing compliance, it said.”
印度每年从160多个国家进口约1300万吨可回收金属废料，每天有2500个集装箱抵达。
As it stands today, pre-shipment inspection and destination port screening serve different purposes and are not interchangeable,” it said.
MRAI在其9月19日的请愿书中指出，在许多来源国，要么没有授权的检验机构，要么检验依赖于单一机构。
India imports about 13 million metric tons of recyclable metal scrap every year from more than 160 countries, with 2,500 containers arriving each day.
该贸易组织表示，装运前检验是一种‘源头保障’措施，可以在货物运输前检测出不符合规定的货物，如放射性物质、武器、弹药或爆炸物。相反，如果让未经检验的货物进入印度港口可能会带来风险。他们还表示，这两种检验是互补的，不能互相替代。
In many source countries, either no authorised inspection agency is available, or inspection depends on a single agency, the MRAI said in its September 19 petition. The trade body said pre-shipment inspection is a ”source-side safeguard” that can detect non-compliant consignments, such as radioactive material, arms, ammunition or explosives, before they are shipped. In contrast, letting any unchecked cargo dock at Indian ports may pose a risk, it said, adding, ”The two checks are complementary, not substitutable.”
该组织正在努力扩大全球认可的安装运前检验机构的范围，并增加被认为不需要检验的安全国家或地区的名单。
The trade body is working to extend recognition to more pre-shipment inspection agencies globally to tackle the supply gap and also to expand the list of safe countries or regions whose consignments are deemed not to need inspection, it added.
