1.Stringent Technical Certification: EAC Certification (CU-TR) mandatorily covers 80% of machinery categories,involving 12 indicators including safety and environmental protection
2.Logistics Cost Fluctuations: AndCombination solutions require dynamic optimization,with customs clearance efficiency affecting capital turnover rates
3.Localization Adaptation Requirements: Equipment modifications for extreme cold conditions (-30°C),Russian-language interfaces,and other localization requirements
