The Ministry of Commerce and other departments issued a notice on completing subsidies for the trade-in of home appliances and the purchase of new digital and smart products in 2026. The notice makes it clear that all regions should scientifically formulate plans for the use and payment of subsidy funds, use them in a balanced manner on a monthly basis, and make a smooth connection between each week during the month and across months and quarters. Coordination has been strengthened at the provincial level, and unified and clear requirements such as a list of materials, application methods, processing procedures, and review procedures are put forward for business entities to apply for specific matters such as subsidy policies and payment of funds. On the premise of risk prevention and control, it is possible to simplify the fund review process, speed up the disbursement process, reduce the pressure on business entities participating in the policy to advance funds, and ensure that all eligible subsidy funds are paid in a timely manner, taking into account local realities. In order to prevent lawbreakers from evading the verification of information on subsidized products, all regions should urge delivery companies to strengthen the management of the distribution process of subsidized products, do a good job of controlling abnormal delivery addresses, focus on monitoring situations where the same delivery address receives large numbers of subsidized products within a short period of time, and deal with problems in a timely manner. Delivery companies should strengthen work reminders and education management for delivery personnel, verify and collect receipt information in a timely manner, and effectively prevent acts such as false signatures. All regions should make good use of existing funding channels and strengthen the construction of renewable resource recycling systems. Business entities participating in the policy must have the ability to recycle used household appliances, take into account the sale of new and used household appliances, and take the initiative to provide a one-stop service for the delivery of new and used household appliances. Home appliance sales enterprises are encouraged to jointly carry out trade-in promotion activities with production and recycling companies, and appropriate concessions are given to consumers to buy new ones and hand them over. Based on the actual needs of the people, develop recycling models for waste household appliances such as “integration of the two networks,” “Internet+ recycling,” and “using cars for storage” according to local conditions.
