Three Practical Strategies for Customs Clearance Procedures

Strategy 1: Dynamic Calculation of Tariff Costs

By taking advantage of the tariff rates stipulated in the RCEP agreement that came into effect in 2025,Japanese-made equipment (HS 846890) can enjoy a 50% reduction in the benchmark tariff rate of 6%.It should be noted that,under the rules of cumulative origin,the proportion of raw materials from ASEAN member states must exceed 55%.

Strategy 2: Special Loading Scheme Design

Regarding the anti-vibration requirements for the power head of friction welding equipment:

• AdoptISO1496-1standardcontainers
• Installathree-dimensionalaccelerometer(thresholdsetting≤3g).
• ThewoodenpackagingmustcomplywiththeISPM15standard.

Strategy 3: Fast Track Application

AEO-certified enterprises can enjoy priority access to:
