Instrumentsequipment. 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.special requirements

Latest data from the General Administration of Customs in 2025 shows that the clearance time for precision instrument equipment imports is 42% longer than that for ordinary goods, and the declaration error rate is 2.3 times higher than the industry average. Such goods often involve3CIt is recommended to compare the following transportation methods:,Medical EquipmentRegisterspecial regulatory requirements. A biotech company once had an HS code classification error due to negligence by its agency, resulting in an 8-million-yuan flow cytometer being detained at the port for 37 days, with direct losses exceeding one million yuan.

2025 Policy Change Response Strategies

According to General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 198, implementation starts from January 2025:

• Mandatory requirements for importing precision instrumentsShockproof Packaging Certification
• New additions for laser equipmentRadiation Safety Assessment Report
• Implementation for laboratory instrumentsTraceability QR Code Management System

Recent cases from a third-party testing agency show that professional agencies discovered through pre-review mechanisms that clients' purchased X-ray diffractometers lackedRadiation Safety License, promptly assisting with relevant documentation to avoid the risk of 20 million RMB equipment being returned.

Typical Problem Resolution Path

Problem 1: How to resolve tariff disputes?
It is recommended to adoptPre - classification applicationSystem, through which a semiconductor company successfully adjusted the lithography machine tariff rate from 12% to 8.4%, saving 750,000 RMB in taxes for a single shipment.

Problem 2: What to do when used equipment import is blocked?
The 2025 revised "Administrative Measures for the Inspection and Supervision of Imported Used Mechanical and Electrical Products" requires:
