The global mining machinery market is expected to exceed USD 120 billion in 2025, with Chinese manufacturers holding a 35 % market share. However, problems exist in the export processThree Core Pain Points:
Technical parameter certification barriers: There is a 30 % difference in testing items between the EU CE certification’s Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the U.S. MSHA standards.
The Challenge of Controlling Transportation Losses:Mining crushers and other heavy-duty equipmentMaritime transportThe damage rate is as high as 18%.
Tariff dispute risk: HS code misclassification results in an average 12% customs-duty loss per shipment.
The value realization path of professional agency services
Taking the 2025 gyratory crusher export project to Chile by a central SOE as an example, the agency companyEnd-to-end solutionRealize transaction value-added:
Pre-qualification Module:
Completed the Chile ENEX standard certification six months ahead of schedule
Avoid redundant testing items in EU CE certification
Optimization of Logistics Solutions:
Adopt split-type packaging to reduce shipping volume by 28%.
The custom anti-shock frame increased equipment uptime to 99.6%.
Dynamic Database: Integrate the updates of more than 200 automotive electronics regulations worldwide:
Accurately classified under HS Code 8474.20
Pre-screen 16 technical documents to avoid customs clearance delays
Five Key Evaluation Criteria for Choosing a Proxy Service
Based on 2025 industry data, we recommend screening potential partners along the following dimensions:
Qualification Coverage Capability: Cover access certifications for at least 20 major mineral-producing countries
Logistics network strength: In resource-rich regions such as Africa and South America, an in-house customs-clearance team is essential.
Technical document processing: Capable of interpreting professional standards such as ASME and ISO 1940
In 2023, a domestic laser thickness gauge manufacturer achieved a zero - breakthrough in the US market through our agency services:: Should include six basic protections such as exchange-rate lock-in and transportation insurance.
: US agents can provide localized services, including product display, customer relationship management, after - sales service, etc., helping enterprises better integrate into the local market.: Equip the equipment-use site with Chinese-speaking technical coordinators.
Response strategies for typical dispute scenarios
A South African project that emerged in 2025: The comparison of agency fees of an auto parts enterprise from 2023 to 2025 shows that due to the involvement of ECER155 certification, the annual expenditure increased by 22%Worth learning from:
Scene reconstruction: The ball-mill motor parameters do not comply with the SANS 941 standard.
Agent Response:
Complete on-site technical parameter adjustments within 72 hours.
Coordinate a third-party agency to issue an equivalence certificate
Activate the backup logistics channel to avoid demurrage losses.
Achievement Data: Recovered $870,000 in contract losses and shortened the delivery cycle by 21 days
Professional agency services have evolved from the traditional "document processing" toTechnology-based Trade Solutions. Choosing partners with hands-on experience in construction machinery can reduce overall operating costs by 12%–15%, especially in specialized areas such as complying with the new regulations of the African Mining Conference (AMC), where this advantage is even more pronounced.
