Environmental Protectionequipment. 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.Special characteristics recognition

The global environmental equipment market is projected to exceed 380 billion USD in 2025, with China as a major importer showing continuous growth in demand for waste treatment and air purification equipment. Unlike ordinary machinery products, environmental equipment imports have three distinctive characteristics:

• High technical certification barriers: EU CE certification EMC directive updated to 2025 version, US EPA certification added PM2.5 monitoring standards
• Complex tariff structure: HS codes involve Month_1 421/8479 and other sections, with 10% tariff difference risks
• Strong policy sensitivity: The Ministry of Ecology and Environment quarterly updates the Encouraged Import Environmental Equipment Catalog, directly affecting tax exemption applications

Analysis of Professional Agency Service Value

A water groups 2025 import of German MBR membrane bioreactors faced 4-month delays due to agency selection mistakes. The core value of professionalforeign tradeagencies is reflected in:

• Access qualification assurance
  • Customs AEO certification verification
  • Overseas environmental equipment manufacturer registration and filing
• Technical document processing
  • Non-standard equipment drawing translation certification
  • Performance parameter compliance comparison

Eight-dimensional evaluation system for agent selection

According to the latest regulatory requirements of the General Administration of Customs in 2025, the following evaluation model is recommended:

• Basic qualifications: Import operation license for electromechanical products, environmental equipment import filing
• Professional Ability: Import cases of the same category within 3 years, technical team configuration
• Risk control: Pre-classification accuracy rate, delayed declaration penalty compensation commitment
• Value - added Services: Bonded warehousing solution, tariff optimization during equipment debugging period

Typical cooperation pitfalls warning

2025 industry research shows that 67% of disputes stem from agent selection errors:

• Low - price trap: Quotations 15% below customs guidance prices should raise smuggling risk alerts
• qualification fraud: Key verification of agents AEO certification status (verifiable on customs website)
• Service deficiencies: Lack of technical document pre-review may lead to port returns

Full-process service standard demonstration

Quality agents should provide complete service chain:

• Pre - preparation Stage
  • Equipment HS pre-classification report (error rate ≤3%)
  • Import license pre-review service
• Logistics execution stage
  • Special container stowage plan
  • Destination inspection coordination

New trends in agency services for 2025

With the deepening implementation of the RCEP agreement, it is recommended to focus on:

• ASEAN member states environmental equipment import tariff preferences (average reduction of 8.7%)
• China-Japan-Korea technical standard mutual recognition agreement covering 32 types of environmental equipment
• Customs pre-classification ruling system reduces clearance time to 72 hours
