Analysis of Key Points in the Whole Process of Import Agency for CNC Equipment in 2025

2025 CNCequipment. 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 market trends

With the acceleration of the intelligent upgrade of the global manufacturing industry, the import scale of CNC machine tools in China is expected to exceed $42 billion in 2025. In the electromechanical product services, the proportion of high - precision equipment such as five - axis联动加工中心 and laser cutting machine tools has increased to 37%, an increase of 14 percentage points compared with 2020. The main pain points faced by import enterprises include:Import RepresentationTariff losses caused by HS code classification errorsCustoms clearance delays caused by the lack of technical documents,Hidden costs caused by inappropriate logistics solutionsandPre - review of equipment technical parameters (16 core indicators such as spindle accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy should be included).

Core operational process breakdown

• Pre - filing stage
  • Application for import license (a data security commitment letter will be newly added from 2025)
  • Confirmation of tariff reduction and exemption eligibility (focus on checking the 2025 version of the National Encouraged Import Catalogue)
  • Key Points of Customs Clearance Practice
• Key points of customs clearance practice
  • Accurate HS Code Classification (2025 New Smart Control Systems Subcategory)
  • Access Certificate for Electromechanical Products (Pay special attention to the differences between EU CE certification and Chinas GB standards)
  • Quarantine Treatment of Wooden Packaging (A test report on the clarity of the IPPC mark is required to be provided)

Detailed Explanation of Tariff Preferential Policies in 2025

According to the latest announcement of the Ministry of Finance, the tax preferences that can be enjoyed for the import of numerical control equipment include:

• The tariff rate of machining centers with five or more axes is reduced from 9.7% to 7.2%
• Precision measuring instruments can apply for immediate refund of value - added tax
• Under the free trade agreement, up to 65% of the tariff can be reduced or exempted (It is required to provideIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:electronic verification of the certificate)

Key Control Points of Technical Compliance

There are three major changes in the technical document review standards in 2025:

• Safety Certification Documents: The EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC needs to be provided with a Chinese translation simultaneously
• Software System Description: The version of the CNC control system needs to match the customs filing database
• Energy consumption test reports: A new test item of the ratio of no - load power to rated power is added

Agency service provider selection criteria

• Industry experience level: At least 50 import cases of the same type of equipment should be completed
• Service Completeness: It should include the whole - chain services such as pre - classification, compliance review, and emergency customs clearance
• Strength of resource network: It needs to cover the AEO certification channels of major port customs
• Risk control system: A double - review mechanism of professional classifiers and electromechanical product engineers must be equipped

Analysis of Typical Risk Cases

When an auto parts enterprise imported a five - axis machining center, due toincomplete declaration of lubrication system parametersthe equipment was detained at the port for 28 days, resulting in an additional storage fee of 170,000 yuan. After the intervention of a professional agency company:

• The technical data was corrected within 3 working days
• The over - paid tariff of 420,000 yuan was recovered through an appeal against classification differences
• The customs inspection priority channel was coordinated to reduce the customs clearance time by 65%

Optimization Strategy of Logistics Plan

In view of the characteristics of precision numerical control equipment, it is recommended to adoptdoor - to - door full - journey constant - temperature transportationPlan:

• Maritime TransportationStage: Equip with a 1Hz frequency shock - absorbing device
• Land transportation stage: Use air - suspended vehicle bodies (vibration value ≤ 0.5g)
• Warehousing link: Maintain an environment with a humidity of 40% - 60%

Through the combination of systematic process management and professional agency services, enterprises can shorten the import cycle to 68% of the industry average level and reduce the comprehensive cost by 12% - 15%. Against the backdrop of the continuous optimization of import supervision policies in 2025, choosing an agency with special service capabilities for electromechanical products will be a key decision for manufacturing enterprises to enhance their international procurement competitiveness.
