This article will provide systematic import solutions for automobile dealers, maintenance enterprises, and end-users by combining industry status, operational key points, and practical experience.

I. Industry Status Quo and Import Pain Points

In 2023, the global automotive parts market size exceeded 1.2 trillion US dollars, with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts imports accounting for 35%. The Chinese market, due toNew energythe increase in automobile penetration rate (reaching 36% in 2023), has driven the demand for imported parts to exhibit two major characteristics:
Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsTechnology-intensive parts rely on imports: Core components such as electronic control systems and high-voltage battery assemblies show a 22% annual growth in import volume.
Regional Mandatory CertificationsCompliance thresholds continue to rise: The new version of GB/T 19001 quality certification and REACH environmental standards have increased customs clearance difficulties.

Common import pain points:

• Over 50% of enterprises have experienced inspection delays due to HS code classification errors.
• The lack of OEM authorization documents accounts for 68% of customs disputes in imports.
• 30% of cargo damage stems from unprofessional international transportation solutions.

II. Core value of professional agency services

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsEnd-to-end risk control system

• Qualification pre-review system: Verification through global OEM manufacturer databasesIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:to confirm authenticity
• Intelligent classification system: HS code matching accuracy based on AI algorithms reaches 99.2%.
• Tariff optimization plan: Utilization of free trade agreements such as RCEP to achieve an average tariff reduction of 3-7 percentage points.

Regional Mandatory CertificationsHS code dispute pre-ruling mechanism to avoid classification risks

• Precision instrument parts: Constant temperature and humidity containers + three-dimensional anti-vibration brackets.
• Hazardous goods: UN38.3 certified packaging + maritime bureau registered transportation solutions.
• Oversized parts: Modular disassembly + professional assembly services at the destination.

III. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Phase 1: Access compliance (cycle: 3-5 working days)

1. Verify OEM authorization chain: Three-level authorization documents from manufacturer → brand owner → importer.
2. Technical parameter filing: Power parameters, environmental protection levels, etc., must be pre-recorded in the customs system.
3. 3CCertification exemption application: Submit exemption proof materials for maintenance parts.

Phase Two:International Logistics(Cycle: 15-30 days)

• Maritime TransportationSolution: For precision parts, prioritize ECX express shipping routes of shipping companies such as CMA CGM.
• Air TransportationSolution: For urgent parts, recommend DHLs Time Definite Delivery service.
• Insurance coverage: Additional war risk, strike risk, and full-process temperature fluctuation insurance.

Phase 3: Customs clearance practice (critical 48 hours)

1. Pre-declaration: Complete the two-step declaration 72 hours before arrival.
2. On-site inspection response:
   • Provide professional documents such as part cross-sectional diagrams and material descriptions.
   • Prepare anti-counterfeiting verification systems for brands such as GM and BOSCH.
3. Tax payment: Smart tax calculation for VAT 13% + tariffs (2-10% depending on the category).

IV. Special case handling in the industry

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsCompliance of parallel import parts:

• Achieve compliance through EU 2002/96/EC certification conversion.
• Establish an independent warehousing system to avoid conflicts with OEM channels.

Regional Mandatory CertificationsRe-import of recalled parts:

• Apply for a special item import license (requires providing a VIN code list).
• Implementation of full-process traceability label management

Cultural and Religious NormsDedicated accessories for new energy vehicles:

• Lithium battery pack imports require complete documentation: MSDS + UN38.3 + short-circuit proof packaging certification
• Charging modules require separate electromagnetic compatibility testing

Cost Optimization Strategies

Based on analysis of 217 agency projects in 2023, we recommend:
Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsBatch combination declaration: Maintain single shipment value between $80,000-$120,000 for optimal tax rates
Regional Mandatory CertificationsRegional distribution warehousing: Establish distribution centers in comprehensive bonded zones like Ningbo and Nansha to reduce logistics costs by 18%
Cultural and Religious NormsDemurrage fee control: Adopt door-to-door DDP terms to avoid port storage fee risks

Future Trend Predictions

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsDigital Traceability: Blockchain technology applications will improve customs clearance efficiency by 40%
Regional Mandatory CertificationsGreen Logistics: ISO14064 certified packaging materials will become mandatory access requirements
Cultural and Religious NormsEmergency Response System: Recommend enterprises maintain 3-month safety stock + 15-day fast customs clearance channel
