Post-processingEquipment ImportsNew industry trends

After the revised "Administrative Measures for the Import of Electromechanical Products" was implemented in 2025, the import volume of environmentally friendly post-processing equipment increased by 23% year-on-year. This category of equipment includes six major types of products, such as exhaust gas treatment devices and wastewater recycling systems. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, post-processing equipment accounted for 34% of rejected cases due to classification errors.

Typical case analysis

In a case involving a German company importing plasma exhaust gas treatment equipment, the agency achieved success through:

• Completion of energy efficiency testing pre-review ahead of schedule.
• Coordinate with local customs to implement the "two-step declaration" process.
• The declared price includes a detailed breakdown of technical patent fees.

Construction of a Risk Prevention and Control System

It is recommended that enterprises establish a three-tier risk prevention and control system:

• Pre-event: Equipment Access Compliance Review
• During the process: Real-time customs clearance status monitoring
• After the event: Archiving and management of import documents (retention period not less than 3 years)
