I.Equipment ImportsHidden Cost Traps of Self-Declared Customs Clearance

After the implementation of the new 2025 "Administrative Measures for the Import of Electromechanical Products," a machinery manufacturing company had an entire batch of CNC equipment detained at the port for 28 days due to incorrect HS code classification. Data shows that in cases of self-declared equipment imports by enterprises:

• 72% have documentation completeness deficiencies.
• 65% encountered tariff classification disputes
• 41% due toIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:The issue triggers customs inspection.

  • New energy efficiency rating certification requirements for 2025
  • EU CE certification and domestic3CCertification Conversion Rules

Firewall 2: Intelligent Classification System Accurately Identifies HS Codes
Through industry database comparison, the classification time for a certain laser cutting equipment was reduced from the conventional three days to two hours, with accuracy improved to 99.2%. Typical application scenarios:
