MiningEquipment ImportsNew market trends

With the global mining industry recovery, Chinas mining machinery imports in 2025 are expected to exceed $8.7 billion, a 23% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels. However, thespecial regulatory attributesof equipment imports have significantly increased operational complexity:46% of rejection casesInvolving HS code classification errors31% of port congestion issuesOriginating from lack of special equipment qualifications

Three-dimensional perspective of hidden risks

• Qualification blind spots
  • Dual review of MA certification and explosion-proof certification specific to mining equipment
  • Transition between EU CE certification and domestic coal safety certification
• Taxation black hole
  • Standard 13% import VAT rate
  • 3% preferential tariff rate applicable to specific mineral equipment
• Logistics Traps
  • Road/rail intermodal transport solution for oversized equipment
  • Constant temperature and humidity transport protection for core equipment components

The breakthrough approach of professional agency services

A typical case: A mining groups 2025 import of German tunnel boring machines

• Pre-qualification review: Completed coal safety certification pre-review process 6 months in advance
• Pre-classification of tariff codes: Adjusted originally declared code 8430.49 to 8430.31
• Transport disassembly: Adopted modular disassembly solution saving 45% transport costs

2025 customs clearance policy response strategies

General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 198 requires:Mining equipment imports must provide origin radiation test certificates. Professional agencies can:

• Establish equipment material database to predict compliance risks
• Create direct certification channels with overseas testing institutions
• Develop intelligent declaration system for one-click classification

Importing mining equipment is essentiallyThe balancing art between technical compliance and cost control. Choosing agents with mining professional backgrounds can reduce 38% hidden costs, shorten 55% clearance time, and secure critical project timelines.
