Real market challenges

Under the backdrop of the global supply chain reconstruction in 2025,the demand for imported precision machine tools,medical equipment,and scientific research instruments among domestic manufacturing enterprises continues to increase.However,according to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs,37% of enterprises encountered customs clearance delays when importing for the first time,incurring an average of 80,000 to 150,000 yuan in additional storage costs.A car parts manufacturer in the Yangtze River Delta recently reported that due to not understanding the amendment provisions of the 2025 version of the "Mechanical and Electrical Products Import Management Measures",a German-made CNC machining center worth 22 million yuan was stranded at the port for 23 days.
