Against the backdrop of accelerating global manufacturing supply chain restructuring in 2025, imports of electromechanical equipment such as industrial robots and CNC machine tools continue to rise. According to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the total import value of electromechanical products from January to June 2024 reached 6.8 trillion yuan, among whichthe proportion of complete equipment imports exceeded 32%, but accompanying customs clearance disputes increased by 18% year-on-year.
Key Control Points in the Customs Clearance Process
Professional agency services should cover the following core aspects:

Typical risk scenario response strategies
A typical case encountered by an auto parts company when importing precision machine tools from Germany:
Risk Scenario:Customs questioned the reasonableness of the declared value
Solution:
Provide a complete chain of international trade payment documents

Initiate price pre-determination procedure
Agent Service Selection Evaluation System
Three Core Competency Matrices Quality Agencies Should Possess:

Success Rate of Administrative Reconsideration for Classification Disputes
Resource integration capability
Coordination of Special Lifting Equipment at Ports
Pre-shipment Inspection Agency Coordination for Used Electromechanical Equipment
Full-process Optimization Recommendations
Recommended for enterprises to establishThree-step Defense System:
