Post-processingequipment. 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.New industry trends

After the revision and implementation of the Mechanical and Electrical Products Import Management Measures in 2025, imports of environmentally friendly post-processing equipment increased by 23% year-on-year. Such equipment includes six categories of products such as exhaust gas treatment devices and wastewater recovery systems. Customs data shows that among cases of rejected declarations due to classification errors, post-processing equipment accounted for 34%.

Three core values of agency services

Customized professional clearance solutionsKey considerations:

• Accurate HS code classification (pay special attention to overlapping items in categories 8537/8421)
• Verification of environmental certification documents (check validity of CE/EPA certifications)
• Optimization of special equipment filing procedures (special regulatory requirements for pressure vessel products)

Common decision-making pitfalls for import enterprises

• Pitfalls in customs declaration forms:
  • Equipment models without technical parameters
  • Used mechanical and electrical equipment without declared service life
• Logistics blind spots:
  • Non-compliant moisture-proof packagingMaritime Transportationstandards
  • Oversized equipment without special transport permits

2025 agency service selection standards

High-quality agents should have:

• Customs AEO Advanced Certification qualification
• Localized commodity inspection coordination capabilities
• Emergency response mechanisms (such as port demurrage cost control plans)

Typical case analysis

In the case of a German company importing plasma exhaust gas processors, the agency company:

• Completed energy efficiency testing pre-review in advance
• Coordinated with local customs to implement two-step declaration
• Included detailed technical patent fees in declared value

Ultimately saved 11 working days in clearance time and avoided $32,000 in bond occupancy.

Risk prevention and control system construction

It is recommended that enterprises establish a three-level risk prevention system:

• Pre-event: Equipment access compliance review
• During: Real-time customs clearance status monitoring
• Post-event: Import document archiving management (retention period of no less than 3 years)
