With the accelerated recovery of global manufacturing, China's import scale of mechanical and electrical equipment is expected to exceed 2.8 trillion yuan by 2025. The latest data from the General Administration of Customs shows that semiconductor manufacturing equipment, industrial robots,New energyThe import demand for the three major categories of processing machinery increased by 23.6% year-on-year, but the error rate in declarations also rose to 17.8%. In such a market environment, the value of professional agency companies becomes increasingly prominent.

Policy Trends and Response Recommendations for 2025
Full Implementation of RCEP Rules of Origin (Tariff Preferences for Equipment from Japan and South Korea)
New Energy Efficiency Standards for Electromechanical Equipment Take Effect (EU ERP III Directive)
Thailand and the Philippines have made it mandatory to submit electronic manifests 24 hours before container loading
Four-Step Method for Professional Agency Cooperation
Demand Portrait: Clarify equipment technical parameters/usage/configuration list
through the following channels. Tax system verification:: Inspection of Customs AEO Certification/Industry Cases
Program Evaluation: Compare customs clearance time efficiency/cost structure/contingency plan
Mechanism establishment: Schedule regular customs declaration data review meetings
Choosing a professional electromechanical equipment import agency is essentially about building a "risk firewall" for cross-border supply chains. By 2025, with the full implementation of customs' "smart audit" systems, an agency's data integration capabilities and pre-classification expertise will become core competitive advantages. It is recommended that enterprises prioritize evaluating an agency's system integration capabilities and the quality of historical declaration data, as these factors will directly impact the precision of overall import cost control.
