MiningThe four major particularities of

In the 37 cases of mining machinery imports we have handled in recent years,we have observed significant industry-specific characteristics in such equipment:The unit price of standalone equipment generally exceeds 2 million US dollars.And it often involves special components such as pressure vessels and explosion-proof devices.A mining group imported a gyratory crusher in 2024,but due to a misclassification of the drive shaft,it had to pay an additional VAT of 920,000 yuan.This serves as a warning that we need to pay special attention to the following characteristics:

• DifficultiesintheClassificationofHybridCommodities
  • CombinedDeclarationofElectromechanicalEquipmentandMiningSafetyDevices
  • Functionaldefinitionofcomponentsincompleteequipment
• Cross-management of certification systems
  • DualsupervisionbyCCCcertificationandminesafetycertification
  • Specialinspectionrequirementsforexplosion-proofelectricalequipment

Risk Management of the Entire Process of Customs Brokerage

In 2025,the General Administration of Customs will implementNew Regulations on Safety Assessment of Imported Equipment,more stringent inspection standards are proposed for the transmission systems and braking devices of mining machinery.We recommend implementing phased control:

• ThePreparationStage
  • Verifytheconsistencybetweentheequipmentnameplateandthetechnicalparametersspecifiedinthecontract.
  • Confirmtheservicelifeofthesecond-handequipment(from2025,theimportofhydraulicequipmentover10yearsoldwillberestricted).
• Declaration Execution Phase
  • Utilizethecustomspre-determinationmechanismtolockintheHScode.
  • Reasonablysplitthedeclaredprice(separatetaxationforthemainunitandaccessories).

Strategies for Responding to Tariff Policies in 2025

According to the latest announcement from the Ministry of Finance,the core components of mining machinery (under tariff code 8430.49) areThe provisional tariff rate will be reduced from 5% to 3%.,but it must meet the localization rate requirement.We recommend:

• Preparetechnicaldocumentsinadvancetodemonstratetheadvancednatureoftheequipment.

Analysis of typical dispute cases

When a company imported mining trucks,it failed to declare the GPS positioning modules (classified as information technology products) that came with the vehicles,resulting in customs demanding payment of the tax difference and late fees totaling 580,000 yuan.This case reveals:Modular declaration of composite equipmentIt has become a key focus of customs inspection,and it is recommended to adopt:

• 3DModelDisassemblyDeclarationMethod
• IndependentFilingMechanismforFunctionalUnits

Through professional agency services,a mining company successfully imported a ball mill project.The customs clearance time is reduced by 40%.,Compliance costs are reduced by 25%.Against the backdrop of customs authorities strengthening local inspections,selecting an agent with customs clearance qualifications for electromechanical equipment has become a key measure to mitigate operational risks.
