According to the General Administration of Customs inspection data for imported equipment from January to June 2025, power parameter discrepancies (31%), lack of safety certifications (28%), and misreported service years of used equipment (19%) constitute the main customs clearance obstacles. Professional agency services need to establish a triple defense system:
Technical parameter verification mechanism
Motor rated power ±5% floating standard
Consistency between pressure vessel working pressure and design documents
Pre-review of special equipment filing
Preparation of TSG certification 120 days in advance for boiler/elevator equipment
Tracking of CCC certification renewal cycles for explosion-proof electrical equipment

Obtain customs pre-review opinion letter
Formal declaration phase (within 48 hours after arrival)
Supplement actual arrival data

Key points for building a risk early warning system
Professional agencies should establishFour-dimensional risk early warning model:
Typical case database (containing 500+ precedents)
A semiconductor equipment import case showed that by pre-establishing a risk model to identify new vacuum pump energy efficiency regulations in advance, actual customs clearance time was reduced from an estimated 17 days to 3 days. This confirms the decisive role of systematic risk management in equipment import agency.
