How to avoid technical trade barriers in glass equipment imports?

2025 Glassequipment. 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.Industry New Trends

With the global manufacturing industrys intelligent upgrade, imports of glass deep-processing equipment increased by 18.7% year-on-year. However, in practice, buyers often faceTechnical parameter certificationandCustoms clearance time efficiency controldual challenges. In Q1 2025, an industrial glass manufacturer importing a German CNC cutting machine suffered over $120,000 in direct losses due to delayed updates to the EU CE certification 2025 version technical documents, resulting in 37 days of port detention.

Analysis of the core value of professional agency companies

PremiumImport RepresentationCompanies should possess three-tier service capabilities:

  • Interpretation of EU EN 13023-2025 Machinery Directive updates
  • Practical guide for US FDA food-grade glass contact material filings
• Full - process Risk Control
  • Pre-classification declaration accuracy guaranteed at over 98%
  • Optimization of port detention compensation insurance clauses

Five golden rules for selecting an agency company

• Triple verification of qualification documents: Customs AEO certification + specific equipment import license + industry association membership proof
• Technical team configuration standards: At least 2 engineers holding ISTA packaging certification must be assigned
• Case database review: Requires submission of customs clearance records (anonymized) for similar equipment within the last 12 months

Typical service scenario operation process

Taking the import of Korean OLED glass coating equipment as an example:

• Complete KC certification conversion by the 9th working day
• Special shock-proof packaging reduces transportation loss rate to 0.3%
• HS code intelligent comparison system reduces classification time by 40%

2025 industry warnings and response strategies

According to the latest technical trade measures notification of the WTO:

• EU plans to implement energy efficiency grading system for glass equipment (effective Q3 2025)
• US Customs launches special inspection on country-of-origin markings for glass products

It is recommended that purchasing parties clearly specify in agency agreementsTechnical document update responsibility clauses, requiring service providers to submit monthly briefings on regulatory changes in target markets and establish dynamic compliance management systems.
