There are significant differences between the export of industrial equipment and that of conventional goods:The average value of a single item is 47 times higher than that of ordinary goods.The customs declaration requirements have been increased by 3-5 technical parameters, and special reinforcement solutions are needed for the transportation process. According to the export data of a machine tool manufacturing company in 2025, the rate of return orders for self-handled exports reached as high as 32%, while the processing time for abnormal orders could be shortened by 78% through professional agencies.
Core Module of Professional Agency Services
High-quality agency services should include three major systems:
Prequalification System
Verification of market access documents for exporting countries
Pre-audit of product technical parameter compliance
The multiple verification mechanism of HS codes
Customs clearance acceleration solution
Intelligent Pre-Classification of Customs Registration Materials
The on-the-spot declaration and clearance model at the port of entry
Technical document translation certification service
Risk control system
GPS tracking system during the transportation process
Port of destination emergency response mechanism

Key points of policy response in 2025
This year, export enterprises need to pay special attention to the following aspects:
Adjustment of the tax rebate rate for mechanical and electrical products (the new category with 28 items has a tax rebate rate of 9% instead of 13%)
Update of the list of equipment subject to the rules of origin of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)
Implementation of revised EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Professional agency approval throughPolicy early warning systemRegulatory changes can be announced 60 days in advance. An injection molding machine export case shows that timely adjusting the CE certification plan can help avoid losing an order worth $1.2 million.
Optimization strategies for transportation solutions
Recommended transportation combinations for different device types:
Precision Instruments: Constant-temperature container + air-cushioned tractor head
Heavy machineryDump-type frame box + direct loading at the port
A complete set of equipmentModular disassembly and transportation solution
A certain ship parts company adopted the professional agency's recommendation.Multimodal transportation solutionsThe transportation cost was reduced by 23%, and the cargo loss rate dropped from 1.7% to 0.3%.
Evaluation dimensions for agency service selection
The number of industry case studies in the database (suggested to be more than 200 successful cases)
The coverage of the overseas customs clearance network (key ports require on-site staff)
Response speed for exception handling (activate the response mechanism within 30 minutes)
The degree of intelligence of the document management system (supporting online collaborative editing)
