Japanese Industry in 2025Equipment ExportData shows that the export value of high - end manufacturing equipment to China increased by 18.7% year - on - year, among which semiconductor production equipment, precision machine tools, and automated production lines accounted for 62%. However, surprisingly,more than 35% of first - time importing enterprises incurred additional costs due to operational errors, mainly concentrated in links such as technical specification certification, tariff classification disputes, and logistics plan design.
Four Core Values Created by Professional Agency Services
A certain auto parts manufacturer imported a CNC machining center worth $5.8 million through a professional agency. Compared with the self - operation plan, it achieved:
14.2% optimization of tariff costs: Completing tariff number classification by using the rules of origin between China and Japan
22 - day improvement in logistics timeliness: Customizing a door - to - door transportation plan to avoid transshipment port risks
100% elimination rate of compliance risks: Completing JIS certification and proof of being outside the CCC catalog in advance
30% reduction in capital occupation: Innovatively using offshore settlement +L/CCombination solutions
