Hidden costs when importing VR equipment? Professional agencys risk avoidance guide

2025 VRequipment. 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 global VR hardware market size is expected to exceed $28 billion in 2025, with Chinas imported equipment share continuously rising to 37%. Emerging application scenarios are extending from gaming entertainment to industrial training, medical rehabilitation and other fields, bringing a trend of equipment specification diversification. Buyers face three core challenges:Implementation of new EU CE certification regulations,Upgrade of US FCC electromagnetic compatibility standardsThe names and detailed addresses of the exporter and the importerLocalized testing requirements in Southeast Asian countries.
