Special challenges in the nonwoven fabric industry regarding imported accessories

As an invisible champion in the global nonwoven fabric equipment industry,Dilo Maschinenfabrik from Germany requires more than 120,000 core components for its needle punching machines every year.In 2025,the European Union revised its regulations on textile products again,requiring manufacturers to comply with stricter environmental protection standards.Regulations on the Export Control of Industrial Equipment ComponentsNew requirements have been proposed for the import declaration of Dilo’s unique yarn guide wheel and needle board:

• Precisioncomponentsrequireamaterialcompositionanalysisreport.
• ElectromechanicalcomponentsmustbeaccompaniedbyCEcertificationextensiondocuments.
• Theresidualplantfibercontentinpackagingmaterialsmustnotexceed0.3%.

Typical failure cases of independent imports

When a Jiangsu non-woven fabric enterprise imported the drive shaft of a Dilo third-generation cross lapper in March 2025,due toMisclassification of HS CodeThis resulted in the deduction of the 300,000 yuan deposit.Our analysis identified three major root causes of the mistake:

• Failuretodistinguishthecustomsattributesofequipmentaccessoriesandmaintenancetools
  • Specialdisassemblytoolsmustbedeclaredseparately.
  • Calibrationinstrumentsfallunderthestatutoryinspectioncatalog.
• Neglecting Dilo’s specific rules of origin marking.
  • ProductsfromtheBaden-Württembergfactoryrequireadditionalspeciallabeling.
