Complete process analysis and risk avoidance strategies for high-voltage equipment import customs clearance

High-voltageequipment. 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.Three key special characteristics of

Under the 2025 international trade landscape, the import of high-voltage equipment with voltage levels ≥1000V exhibits distinct industry characteristics. According to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the error rate in customs declarations for such equipment is 37% higher than that for ordinary electromechanical products, primarily involvingTechnical standard compliance verification,Special transportation regulationsandSafety certification coordinationThree major areas.

Comprehensive customs clearance operation guide

Standardized declaration procedures can reduce customs clearance delay risks by over 30%:

• Pre - classification stage
  • Provide equipment technical parameter manuals (including key data such as insulation class and rated current)
  • Verify whether the products fall under the control of the Catalog of Used Mechanical and Electrical Products Subject to Import Regulation
• Key points for document preparation
  • Compliance verification between EU CE certification/China CCC certification
  • Pressure vessel equipment must provide original ASME certification
• On-site inspection response
  • Prepare IP protection level test reports in advance
  • Wooden packaging must include heat treatment markings (ISPM15 standard)

Typical customs clearance obstacle solutions

A German transformer import case showed that due toInconsistent declaration of insulating mediumThe entire shipment was detained at the port. Solutions include:

• Emergency supplementary filing of SF6 gas usage certification
• Coordinate with third-party testing agencies for on-site sampling
• Submit equipment lifecycle environmental commitment letter
