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.The three major variables in customs clearance

The updated Environmental Protection Special Equipment Import Management Catalog by the General Administration of Customs in 2025 shows that 132 types of equipment in fields such as air pollution control and solid waste treatment will be subject todynamic supervision mechanisms. Importers often face:

• A 5-10% deviation in technical parameters from catalog standards triggers classification disputes
• The equivalence recognition period for EU CE certification and domestic environmental certification exceeds expectations
• Regional differences in the implementation of value-added tax refund policies at the import stage

Core value analysis of professional agencies

Compared with self - declaration, professionalforeign tradeAgencies create value in three dimensions:

• A 40% improvement in declaration efficiency
  • Pre-classification services shorten the time for confirming HS codes
  • Integrated customs and inspection declarations reduce the probability of repeated inspections
• Reduce compliance costs by 25%
• Utilizing free trade agreement tariff reduction rules
• Avoiding declaration risks caused by delays in updates to the environmental equipment import catalog

Key control points in practical operations

A case study of importing German wastewater treatment equipment shows that professional agenciesThree-phase control methodMaximize customs clearance efficiency:

• Verify technical parameters during equipment disassembly phase
• Complete environmental certification pre-review before shipment
• Lock clearance solution 72 hours before port arrival

In this case, agency services reduced the customs clearance process from 45 days to 28 days, saving approximately 120,000 yuan in port demurrage fees.

Policy trend response recommendations for 2025

Regarding the upcoming implementation ofEnergy efficiency grading management system for imported equipment, it is recommended to:

• Establish dynamic database for equipment environmental parameters
• Plan equipment transfer channels for ASEAN production bases in advance
• Apply for whitelist qualification for importing environmental equipment in key industries

Professional agencies, with their policy tracking systems and case databases, can help enterprises establish risk warning models, keeping policy change response time within 72 hours.
