How to avoid the baking test of customs inspection for imported baking equipment?

Bakingequipment. 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

The 2025 baking equipment import market exhibits two key characteristics:Surge in demand for high-end equipmentDriving annual import growth of 18% from Germany and Italy, whileSecond-tier brand equipmentThrough Southeast AsiaEntrepot TradeReduces costs. Customs data shows imports of fully automatic tunnel ovens and intelligent fermentation cabinets increased by 23% year-on-year, but 60% of return cases involved sanitary certification issues.

Key Control Points in the Entire Import Process

Typical baking equipment imports require 8 key stages:

  • Food contact material filing (mandatory silicone component testing added from 2025)
  • 3CCertification exemption document preparation (requires distinguishing equipment heating methods)
• Customs clearance practical stage

Three common risk response strategies

According to General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 12 of 2025, special attention should be paid to:

• Tariff fluctuation risks: Italian electric ovens may face rate adjustments from 5% to 8%
• Technical barrier risks: Impact of the EUs new PED directive on pressure baking equipment
• Logistics damage risks: Precision temperature control componentsMaritime TransportationVibration-proof solution optimization

Golden rules for agency service selection

PremiumImport RepresentationShould have:

• Over 200 practical cases of machinery equipment imports
• Pre-certification database of major EU equipment manufacturers
• Port localization rapid response team (response time ≤2 hours)

Practical case analysis

Ultimately saving 280,000 yuan in comprehensive costs and reducing equipment commissioning time by 40%.

2025 customs clearance regulation outlook

According to the latest GAC briefing:

• Baking equipment wooden packaging requires IPPC electronic traceability codes
• Imports of refrigerant-containing equipment require F-gas compliance certificates
• ATA Carnet coverage may extend to equipment debugging periods
