Market trends: Friction weldingEquipment ImportsVolume continues to rise

According to the latest data from Global Trade Atlas, global demand for friction welding equipment imports is projected to grow by 18.7% in 2025, with the Asian market accounting for over 42%.China, as the worlds largest consumer of welding equipment, sees rising imports of specialized welding equipment driven by renewal demands in sectors like rail transit and aerospace.

Import RepresentationCore service module analysis

• Qualification pre-review system
  • Manufacturer3CCertification document verification (focusing on CNCA-02C-066: 2024 standard)
  • Optimization of import license application timelines (comparison with 2025 Mechanical and Electrical Products Import Catalog)
• Equipment classification management
  • Precise HS code positioning for friction welding machines (typically classified under 8468.90)
  • CE certification and GB15579 standard compliance verification

Three practical strategies for customs clearance

Strategy 1: Dynamic calculation of tariff costs
Utilizing the latest RCEP agreement tariff rates effective in 2025, Japanese-made equipment (HS 846890) can enjoy a 50% reduction from the base rate of 6%. Note that under the rules of origin accumulation, the proportion of raw materials from ASEAN member states must exceed 55%.

Strategy 2: Special Loading Solution Design
For vibration protection requirements of friction welding equipment power heads:

• Using ISO 1496-1 standard containers
• Install 3D acceleration recorders (threshold setting ≤3g)
• Wooden packaging must comply with ISPM15 standard

Strategy 3: Fast Customs Clearance Channel Application
AEO-certified enterprises can enjoy priority benefits including:

• Inspection rate reduced to 30% of normal levels
• Guaranteed release amount increased to 5 million yuan
• Port inspection waiting time shortened to 4 hours

Key risk control node alerts

• Technical Parameter Confirmation
  • Welding pressure range (must comply with GB/T 19418 standard)
  • Spindle speed error value (must not exceed declared customs value by ±2%)
• Transport insurance configuration
  • Maritime TransportationInsurance additional clauses must include lifting accident coverage
  • Inland transport insurance coverage extended to factory unloading points
