Industry status and import demand characteristics

Against the backdrop of global mining mechanization rate exceeding 68% in 2025, underground tracklessEquipment ImportsExhibits three new characteristics:Increased equipment integrationLeading to increased complexity in customs classification;Iteration of safety certification standardsRequiring importers to synchronously update technical documents;Transportation cost proportionRising from the traditional 15% to 22%. Latest statistics show that among cases of import losses caused by improper operations by domestic enterprises, underground equipment categories account for 37%.

Risk warnings and countermeasures

Risk 1: Classification disputes over multi-module integrated equipment

• Typical case: An enterprise importing a rock drilling rig incurred an additional tax payment of 820,000 yuan due to separate declaration of the hydraulic control system
• Countermeasures:
  • Prepare equipment disassembly diagrams and technical parameter comparison tables in advance
  • Apply for customs pre-classification ruling (2025 new regulation requires feedback within 15 working days)

Risk 2: Dynamically updated safety certification system

• New certification requirements added in 2025:
  • Explosion-proof certification must include lithium battery pack safety test report
  • Fire resistance rating of operating cabin materials upgraded to UL94 V-0 standard
• Solution: Establish dynamic tracking mechanism for certification documents with 3-month update cycle

Risk 3: Transportation plan design deviation

• Common mistakes:
  • Ignoring equipment disassembly and reassembly costs caused by tunnel dimensions
  • Failure to consider special moisture-proof packaging requirements for underground environments
• Optimization solution: Use 3D modeling to simulate loading/unloading processes and develop segmented transportation plan

Key nodes of full-process agency services

5 core stages professional agency services should cover:

• Pre - preparation Stage: Standardization of equipment technical parameters
• Document certification stage: MSDS document compliance review
• Transportation design stage: Cost-effectiveness calculation of multimodal transport solutions
• Customs Clearance Execution Phase: Utilize customs clearance facilitation for AEO-certified enterprises
• Follow-up management phase: Establish rapid import channel for equipment component replacement

Cost control and efficiency improvement case studies

Comparative case of a mining groups 2025 import operations:

• Self-operated group:
  • Customs clearance duration: 38 workdays
  • Additional expenses: 15% tariff deposit ratio
• Professional agency group:
  • Customs clearance duration: 22 workdays
  • Tariff preference application rate: 92%

Data shows professional agencies can reduce overall costs by 19% and shorten equipment commissioning cycle by 41%. When selecting service providers, companies should focus on evaluating their case database completeness in special equipment field and emergency response mechanisms for customs inspections.
