Under the latest international trade regulatory framework in 2025, the import of precision machining equipment exhibitshigh technical thresholds, multiple regulatory layers, and strict timeliness requirementscharacteristics. Taking wire EDM equipment as an example, its import process requires special attention to the following stages:
Pre-qualification stage
Application for automatic import license (O license) for electromechanical products by importers
Verification of safety certification documents (CE/UL, etc.) from equipment manufacturers
Pre-shipment inspection filing for used electromechanical products (if applicable)
Logistics and customs clearance stage
Accurate HS code classification (recommended under item 8456.3010)
Safety verification for special equipment pressure vessels (for ancillary equipment)
Optimized calculation of import duties and VAT (current comprehensive tax rate approximately 26.7%)
Spot delivery stage
Equipment maintenance plan during bonded warehouse storage
Risk prediction systems: Early identification of equipment EMC certification risks
Emergency response mechanism: Timely resolution of customs inspection holds within 48 hours
Supply chain integration level: Establishment of priority channels with major port special equipment yards
Cost Transparency: Provision of itemized billing lists (including but not limited to: port construction fees, EDI transmission fees, container detention fees, etc.)
According to the latest 2025 customs statistics, professional agency services can reduce customs clearance cycles by over 40%. Specific implementation paths include:
Pre - classification Service: Obtaining advance customs classification pre-ruling decisions
Tax guaranteeUtilize the summary taxation model to alleviate financial pressure
Intelligent declarationAchieve 'one-time entry, multiple declarations' through the single window system
Inspection preparationPrepare equipment structure and principle illustration manuals in advance (with Chinese-English bilingual content)
Key points of common risk prevention and control
Technical parameter deviationsRequire suppliers to provide CNAS-certified test reports
Disputes over transportation lossesRecommend purchasing 'warehouse to warehouse' all risks insurance with additional precision instrument coverage
After-sales service coordinationClearly specify FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) clauses in the contract
Achieve import process through professional agency servicesModular managementandRisk node pre-controlEnterprises can stabilize equipment delivery cycles within 60 working days, reducing 20-25 working days compared to traditional models. It is recommended to prioritize agency service providers with practical cases of precision processing equipment and require detailed documentation of at least 3 successful customs clearance cases.
