Comprehensive Breakdown of the Entire Professional Agency Service Process

Phase 1: Preliminary Technical Preparation (15-30 days)

• Pre-review of equipment technical parameters (focus areas: voltage standards, safety certifications)
  • EU CE Certification and Domestic CCC Certification Conversion Matching
  • For the import of used equipment, a proof of manufacturing year is required.
• Customs duty reduction scheme design
  • Comparison of Preferential Tax Rates under the 2025 Free Trade Agreement
  • Applicability Analysis of the Import Catalog for Major Technical Equipment

Phase 2: Key Milestones for Application Submission

• Accurate Declaration Element Entry

Common operational error warnings

• Three Common Mistakes in Self-Reporting
  • Disregard the consistency between the equipment nameplate information and the declaration.
  • Using outdated regulatory document codes by mistake
  • Declaration of Non-separated Transport Equipment and Random Accessories
• Hidden risk points in the commodity inspection process
  • New Regulations on Inspection of IPPC Mark for Wooden Packaging
  • Filing requirements for safety valves of pressure vessels

Setting of Contract Terms: Adopt the DDP term to transfer transportation risks

Recommended for enterprises to establishTrinity management mechanism: Initiate customs declaration pre-review 72 hours before import, dynamically track the manifest data during transportation, and complete the verification of declaration documents 24 hours before arrival at the port. Through agency services,End-to-End Visualization System, it can improve document processing efficiency by 60% and reduce the resolution time for exceptions to within 4 hours.
