Medical equipment belongs to the category of high-tech products, is the country to encourage the import of products. However, the expansion of medical equipment imports is a contradictory unity: with the development of the economy, China's medical equipment demand growth, the import of medical equipment can improve China's medical and medical equipment industry as a whole, but at the same time will bring the overall medical costs rise, as well as the impact on the domestic industry. The customs tariff for most of China's medical devices is 17%, 35% for ultrasound products, and 50% for individual products, such as needles and syringes. China's medical device market is relatively chaotic, there are too many circulation links, layers of price increases, profiteering and bad phenomenon. This is related to China's price pricing system in the field of medical devices to take independent pricing. It must be through medical device agents and distributors, resulting in price increases at all levels, inflated prices and increased medical costs. The relevant departments sampled 6 categories, 35 kinds of imported disposable medical equipment products customs clearance price and the price to the hospital, and found that there is a large difference, the latter for the customs clearance price of 3.34 times, resulting in imported medical equipment prices inflated. This is the reason why China is unable to import advanced medical devices in large quantities.
