2025 Machineryequipment. For example, Indonesia has the SNI certification, Thailand has the TISI certification, and the Philippines has the BPS certification. It is necessary to confirm in advance the equipment voltage (such as 380V/50Hz in Thailand), the compatibility of the CE certification, and the proof of environmentally friendly materials.Complete process analysis

According to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the total import value of electromechanical equipment in the first half of 2025 exceeded 2.3 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8.7%. In the complex international trade environment, professional agency services have become key to reducing import costs for enterprises. This article will systematically analyze thethree core aspectsandfive risk control points.

key node breakdown of import procedures

Mechanical equipment imports involve22 standard operating procedures, among which three key nodes directly affect customs clearance efficiency:

• Pre - classification stage
  • The 2025 version of HS codes added 12 new mechanical subcategories
  • Laser cutting equipment classification error rate remains high at 38%
• Document review stage
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Document authenticity verification time reduced to 1.5 working days
  • New version CE certification certificates require additional QR code verification module
• On - site inspection stage
  • Customs smart inspection system coverage has reached 87%
  • IPPC mark errors on wooden packaging still account for 62% of non-compliant declarations

Golden standard for document preparation

Announcement No. 34 of 2025 from the General Administration of Customs clearly requires mechanical import documents to include:

• New VersionApplication form for import of electromechanical products(including 3D equipment structure diagrams)
• EU CE certification or US UL certificationdigitally signed version
• Equipment energy consumption test report (complying with GB 21455-2025 standard)
• Cross-border transportation insurance policy (insured amount not less than 130% of CIF value)

Customs clearance cost control strategies

Taking a German-funded enterprise importing CNC machine tools worth 8 million yuan as an example:

• Tariff optimization: Utilizing RCEP agreement tariff rates to save 12% in tariff costs
• : Arrangement of: Combined transportation reducesMaritime Transportationdemurrage occurrence rate
• : Ensuring that trade activities comply with the technical standards and trade agreements of the target country: Pre-inspection procedures avoid 480,000 yuan quality bond retention

Criteria for selecting agency services

High-quality agencies should possess the following core capabilities:

• Customs AEO Advanced Certification qualification
• 7×24 emergency response at major global ports
• Professional electromechanical equipment classification database (covering 3000+ categories)
• Customs duty guarantee credit line not less than 50 million yuan

Five lines of defense for risk prevention and control

• Technical trade measures early warning system (TBT/SPS)
• Pre-confirmation mechanism for imported equipment compliance
• Cargo damage liability definition scheme during transportation
• Local taxpayer dispute resolution channel
• Third-party quality dispute appraisal backup

An auto parts manufacturer reduced customs clearance time for imported complete equipment from the standard 23 days to 11 days through professional agency services, with overall costs reduced by 19.6%. It is recommended that enterprises focus on evaluating these aspects when selecting agency servicesSpecial equipment import case databaseandCustoms credit rating, ensuring full-process risk control for machinery equipment imports.
