Precise Grasp of the Applicable Conditions of the Duty-free Policy

According to the latest Catalogue of Technologies and Products Encouraged by the State for Import in 2025,equipment. 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.Three core conditions must be met simultaneously for duty exemption:

• The use of the equipment complies with the national industrial policy
  • New energyEquipment manufacturing is preferentially applicable
  • Intelligent testing equipment must pass the certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
• The technical parameters of the equipment reach international advanced standards
  • Provide the original factory technical parameter certification documents
  • Certification report from a third-party testing institution
• The importing entity has relevant qualification documents
  • High-tech enterprise certificate
  • Project filing notice

Key Nodes in the Entire Process of Agency Services

Professional agencies usually carry out work in three stages:

• Pre-confirmation stage
  • Pre-classification of equipment HS codes (error control within 3%)
  • Cross-verification of the negative list (comparison with five major databases)
• Document preparation stage
  • Compilation of a Chinese-English對照表 of technical parameters
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Explicit verification (focus on checking RCEP provisions)
• Customs declaration stage
  • Automatic verification by the electronic port system
  • Preparation of Document on Tariff Regulations Differences

Guide to Avoiding Common Declaration Misunderstandings

According to the statistical data of the General Administration of Customs in June 20251-, 32% of the duty - free applications were rejected due to the following issues:

• The description of equipment functions contradicts the technical parameters
• The declared value deviates more than 15% from that of similar equipment in the same period
• The key supporting materials have expired
  • The validity period of the test report is usually 2 years
  • The project approval document must be within the validity period

Typical service case analysis

Case of a certain intelligent manufacturing enterprise importing German precision machine tools:

• Re - classification through HS code reduces the tariff rate from 9.7% to 0%
• Using the RCEP cumulative rules of origin saves $38,000
• The agency service cycle is compressed to 18 working days (the industry average is 28 days)

Criteria for selecting agency services

High - quality agencies should have the following characteristics:

• Customs AEO Advanced Certification qualification
• Professional classification engineer team (more than 3 people)
• The success rate of similar projects in the past three years is not less than 92%
• Provide full - process legal risk guarantee services
