Electromechanical and hydraulic systems in 2025New market trends

With the scale of infrastructure investment exceeding 12 trillion yuan,China’s imports of hydraulic equipment have maintained a growth rate of over 15% for three consecutive years.However,the latest data from the General Administration of Customs for 2025 show that the declaration error rate of mechanical and electrical products is as high as 32.7%,with compliance issues particularly prominent in hydraulic system components due to their complex classification.

Three "Hidden Minefields" in the Import Process

Misinterpretation of technical parameters leads to classification deviation:

• Acertainenterprisedeclaredahydraulicpowerunitasa"hydraulicpump"(HS8413.60),whenitshouldactuallybeclassifiedunder"hydraulicsystemdevices"(HS8412.60).
• Misclassificationresultedinatariffdiscrepancyof7.8%,triggeringsubsequentcustomsaudits.

Blind spots in mandatory certification updates:

• Special-purposeequipmentrequirespriorapplicationforout-of-catalogidentification.

Technical mismatch in logistics solutions:

The compliance management of imported electromechanical and hydraulic equipment has evolved from a single customs clearance service to a comprehensive solution integrating technology flow,data flow,and policy flow.Professional agencies assist enterprises in reducing customs clearance error rates to below 1% by establishing a full-cycle management system encompassing "declaration pre-assessment,process monitoring,and post-sales traceability," thereby achieving dual improvements in trade compliance and cost optimization.
