How to avoid hidden costs in coal mining equipment import agency services?

Coal miningequipment. 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.The new landscape of 2025

With the acceleration of global energy structure adjustments, coal mining equipment imports in 2025 exhibit two major characteristics: a 37% growth in equipment renewal demand in Southeast Asian markets, and developed countries updating technical barriers at a frequency of 1.8 times per quarter. A Shanxi mining company importing intelligent coal mining equipment from Germany incurred additional port storage fees amounting to 12% of the cargo value due to failure to comply with the latest EU energy efficiency standards in time.
