MiningEquipment importThe three major clearance challenges

After the implementation of the newly revised "Administrative Measures for the Import of Electromechanical Products" in 2025, the import of mining equipment showedThe complexity of technical parameter determination.,Fragmentation of safety standards system,The increasing frequency of classification disputes.New features. Taking a certain model of hydraulic crusher as an example, the accuracy rate of customs declaration HS codes has dropped from 78% to 62%, with the main disputes focusing on the combined determination of working pressure parameters and functional modules.

A Nine-Step Breakdown of the Standard Customs Clearance Process

• Equipment pre-classification phase
  • Obtain the original technical drawings of the equipment.
  • Compare the 2025 edition of the Customs Classification Guidelines.
  • Prepare the classification discrepancy explanation document.
• Document preparation stage
  • New Edition of Import License for Electromechanical Products
  • Special Equipment Registration Certificate for Pressure Vessels
  • EU CE Certification Conversion to Chinese Standards Explanation
• Port operation phase
  • Declaration of Verified Gross Mass (VGM) for Containers
  • Compliance Review of IPPC Marking on Wooden Packaging
  • Self-inspection Report for Equipment Outside the Legal Inspection Catalog

Five Key Dimensions of Qualification Preparation

After the upgrade of the 2025 Customs AEO certification standards, import enterprises need to pay special attention to:

• The quality and safety management system must include provisions for the maintenance of special equipment.
• The retention period for customs declaration documents has been extended to 7 years.
• The importer must establish a traceability system for equipment components.
• The legal department must be equipped with an international trade compliance specialist.
• The threshold for customs declaration error rate has been reduced to below 0.5%.

High-Frequency Issue Response Strategies

A March 2025 import case from a certain mining group revealed that the main issues identified during customs inspection were concentrated in:

• Dispute over nameplate labeling: The deviation between Chinese and English parameters exceeds 5%.
• The attached document is missing.: The pressure gauge calibration certificate has expired.
• Response to Tax ID Queries: Combination judgment of crushing function and screening module

Recommended for enterprises to establishThree-tier pre-trial mechanism: Complete the compliance review of technical documents 15 days before equipment shipment, simulate customs inquiry responses 7 days before port arrival, and archive dispute resolution solutions within 3 days after customs clearance.

The value embodiment of professional agency services

In a provincial-level key project case, professional agency services reduced customs clearance time by 40%:

• Early involvement in equipment selection to avoid classification risks
• Coordinate third-party inspection agencies to conduct on-site pre-inspections.
• Establish a rapid response channel for customs classification disputes.
• Seamless integration of bonded warehousing and domestic logistics

Through the end-to-end visual management system, the document processing time is reduced to within 72 hours, and the response time for handling exceptions is improved to within 2 hours.
