Upgraded technical thresholds: The proportion of mechatronic equipment imports is expected to exceed 65%, while import tariffs on traditional mechanical components will increase by 2-3 percentage points
Reformed certification systems: Equipment manufactured in Russia/Mongolia must simultaneously obtain EAC certification and domestic coal safety certification (MA certification)
Supply chain reconstruction: Under the China-Russia energy cooperation framework, import equipment transportation cycles will be 12-15 workdays shorter than European/American channels
Four core values of professional agency services
Under the 2025 special regulatory policy environment, professionalforeign tradeagency service value is reflected in:
Improved documentation accuracy:
Equipment parameter-HS code matching accuracy must reach above 98%
Pre-classification declarations can avoid 3-5 workdays of port detention
Three Major Compliance Pitfalls in Equipment Imports
Key customs supervision areas in 2025 include:
Technical parameter discrepancies: Equipment nameplate parameters differing from declared documents by more than ±5% will trigger targeted inspections
Utilize the China - ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) to reduce tariffs, and a Form E certificate of origin is required.Equipment without proof of domestic after-sales service outlets will face a 10-15% deposit levy
Environmental standard adaptationDiesel-powered equipment requires additional non-road mobile machinery emission filing
Five key steps for efficient customs clearance
Equipment pre-review stage:
Confirm the classification level of equipment in the "Energy Equipment Import Guidance Catalog",
Obtain complete technical parameter packages from manufacturers (including drawings, material certificates)
Logistics solution design:
For equipment over 200 tons, prioritize dedicated berths at Tianjin Port/Caofeidian Port
Precision instruments recommend using constant temperature containers + land-air intermodal transport mode
Criteria for selecting agency services
Three essential conditions for quality agents:
Possess AEO Advanced Certification qualification
Have self-operated customs clearance teams at major ports
Provide full life-cycle management systems for imported equipment
