Strategic Value Positioning of PVT Proxy Services

In international equipment procurement,the PVT (Procurement-Verification-Transportation) agency model has become a key mechanism for avoiding trade risks.With the implementation of the new version of the "Mechanical and Electrical Products Import Management Measures" in 2025,the equipment customs clearance and verification period has been shortened from an average of 15 working days to 8 working days,but the technical parameter verification standards have been raised by 40%,which requires agency service providers to have stronger technical interpretation capabilities.
