Five key steps for customs clearance of electrical testing equipment imports

I. Electricalequipment. 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.Core customs clearance process analysis

Electrical testing equipment imports in 2025 show three characteristics:Adjustments to the import license catalog,Upgrades to energy efficiency certification standards,It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Enhanced spot checks. Taking a Suzhou testing institution importing German insulation testers as an example, the standard clearance cycle has shortened from 28 days in 2023 to 18 working days, but the rejection rate due to document errors remains as high as 12%.

II. Key points for professional logistics solution design

It is recommended to adoptModular transportation solutions:

• Precision instruments require constant temperature and humidity containers
• Suitable for equipment under 50kgAir TransportationDoor-to-door
• Recommended for bulk equipmentChina-Europe Railway Express+ Domestic multimodal transport

Case studies show that adopting composite transportation solutions can reduce overall logistics costs by 23% and control cargo damage rates below 0.3%.

III. Key strategies for tariff planning

• Application of rules of origin:
  • Tariff reductions up to 8% under RCEP agreement
  • Zero tariffs for specific instruments under China-Switzerland FTA
• Applicable scenarios for temporary admission (ATA):
  • Exhibition display equipment
  • Temporary testing instruments

IV. Three major risk prevention and control measures in compliance management

2025新版《进口机电产品检验监管细则》要求：

• The validity period of electromagnetic compatibility test reports has been shortened to 6 months
• Safety protection levels must comply with the GB 4793.1-2025 standard
• Lithium battery-powered equipment requires separate declaration of transportation conditions

V. Special Notice for 2025 New Regulations

Announcement No. 68 of the General Administration of Customs clarifies:

• 12 new sub-tax codes have been added under HS code 8543
• Inspection rates for AEO-certified enterprises reduced to below 5%
• Electronic energy efficiency labels can use blockchain for certification storage
