Three Key Characteristics of the 2025 Imported Coal Mining Equipment Market

According to the latest Energyequipment. For example, Indonesia has the SNI certification, Thailand has the TISI certification, and the Philippines has the BPS certification. It is necessary to confirm in advance the equipment voltage (such as 380V/50Hz in Thailand), the compatibility of the CE certification, and the proof of environmentally friendly materials.Guidance Catalog issued by the General Administration of Customs, 2025 imports of specialized coal mining equipment will show clear policy orientations:

• Upgraded technical thresholds: The proportion of mechatronic equipment imports is expected to exceed 65%, while import tariffs on traditional mechanical components will increase by 2-3 percentage points
• Reformed certification systems: Equipment manufactured in Russia/Mongolia must simultaneously obtain EAC certification and domestic coal safety certification (MA certification)
• Supply chain reconstruction: Under the China-Russia energy cooperation framework, import equipment transportation cycles will be 12-15 workdays shorter than European/American channels

Four core values of professional agency services

Under the 2025 special regulatory policy environment, professionalforeign tradeagency service value is reflected in:

• Improved documentation accuracy:
  • Equipment parameter-HS code matching accuracy must reach above 98%
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Trade agreement matching error rates must be controlled within 0.5%
• Optimization of logistics costs:
  • China-Europe Railway ExpressandMaritime TransportationLCL consolidation solutions can save 18-22% on freight costs
  • Pre-classification declarations can avoid 3-5 workdays of port detention

Three Major Compliance Pitfalls in Equipment Imports

Key customs supervision areas in 2025 include:

• Technical parameter discrepancies: Equipment nameplate parameters differing from declared documents by more than ±5% will trigger targeted inspections
• Utilize the China - ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) to reduce tariffs, and a Form E certificate of origin is required.Equipment without proof of domestic after-sales service outlets will face a 10-15% deposit levy
• Environmental standard adaptationDiesel-powered equipment requires additional non-road mobile machinery emission filing

Five key steps for efficient customs clearance

• Equipment pre-review stage:
  • Confirm the classification level of equipment in the Energy Equipment Import Guidance Catalog,
  • Obtain complete technical parameter packages from manufacturers (including drawings, material certificates)
• Logistics solution design:
  • For equipment over 200 tons, prioritize dedicated berths at Tianjin Port/Caofeidian Port
  • Precision instruments recommend using constant temperature containers + land-air intermodal transport mode

Criteria for selecting agency services

Three essential conditions for quality agents:

• Possess AEO Advanced Certification qualification
• Have self-operated customs clearance teams at major ports
• Provide full life-cycle management systems for imported equipment

Typical case analysis

A central SOEs 2024 Russian coal mining equipment import project:

• Breakthrough of Difficulties: Coordinating Chinese and Russian customs to achieve two-step declaration and advance declaration mechanism alignment
• Professional supportUtilized China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor policies to reduce 7.8% transit fees
• Time - effect controlTotal customs clearance time reduced by 40% compared to traditional models
