2025 injection moldingEquipment ImportsNew market trends

According to the latest data from China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, global injection molding equipment import volume is expected to exceed $8.2 billion in 2025, with precision electric injection molding machine imports increasing by 23% year-on-year. In equipmentImport RepresentationIn the field, enterprises face three core challenges:Technical parameter compliance review,Control of hidden costs in import procedures,Equipment commissioning and after-sales coordination.

Core operational processes of agency services

The standard operating procedures for professional agency services consist of four stages:

• Demand confirmation stage
  • Equipment technical parameter review (focus on verifying clamping force accuracy of ±0.1%)
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Documentation and CE certification pre-review
  • Import tariff classification pre-assessment (3 new subcategories under HS code 8480 in 2025)
• Logistics execution stage
  • Special equipment transportation plan formulation (disassembly transport for oversized components)
  • Destination port tallying and wooden packaging fumigation treatment
• Customs clearance and inspection phase
  • Application for mechanical and electrical product import licenses (average reduction of 3 working days)
  • Response plan for customs price queries
• After-sales coordination phase
  • Equipment commissioning technical team coordination
  • Imported spare parts warranty period registration

Key points for hidden cost control

Comparison of cost structure differences between self-import and agency import:

• Port demurrage risk: Professional agencies can control average port detention time within 72 hours
• Technical rectification costs: Pre-inspection services reduce equipment rectification probability by 30%
• Exchange Rate Fluctuation Losses: Forward exchange operations can avoid 2-3% exchange rate losses

2025 agent service innovation models

Leading agency service providers have achieved three service upgrades:

• Equipment parameter database (covering technical standards of 87 global brands)
• Tariff dispute pre-review mechanism (dispute resolution cycle shortened by 40%)
• After-sales response time commitment (48-hour on-site technical support)

Typical service case analysis

Case study of a auto parts manufacturer importing German two-color injection molding machines

• Accurate HS code classification saved 7.2% in tariffs
• Avoided 120-day rectification risks caused by technical parameter discrepancies
• Total import cycle shortened to 28 days (industry average: 45 days)
