Environmental ProtectionEquipment ImportsSpecial Challenges in Business

The global environmental equipment market size is projected to exceed $1.2 trillion in 2025, with China as the largest importer facing continuously intensifying customs supervision. A provincial environmental engineering company recently experienced customs clearance delays and project postponement fines due to undeclared auxiliary testing modules when importing a German VOC treatment system. Such cases reveal significant professional barriers in environmental equipment imports.
