Slow wire cuttingthe three key stages

Under the latest international trade regulatory framework in 2025,the import of precision machining equipment showed an increase.high technical thresholds,multiple regulatory layers,and strict timeliness requirementscharacteristics.Taking wire EDM equipment as an example,its import process requires special attention to the following stages:

• Pre-qualificationstage
  • Applicationforautomaticimportlicense(Olicense)forelectromechanicalproductsbyimporters
  • Verificationofsafetycertificationdocuments(CE/UL,etc.)fromequipmentmanufacturers
  • Pre-shipmentinspectionfilingforusedelectromechanicalproducts(ifapplicable)
• Logistics and customs clearance stage
  • AccurateHScodeclassification(recommendedunderitem8456.3010)
