Wuzhong precision manufacturing upgrade spursboom

As a gathering area for the precision machining industry in the Yangtze River Delta,the Wu Zhong Economic and Technological Development Zone is expected to import machines worth over 230 million U.S.dollars in 2025.Among these machines,wire EDM equipment,which boasts a processing accuracy of ±0.002mm,is widely used in mold manufacturing.and other fields.However,enterprises frequently encounter three typical problems when importing independently:

Three core pain points in importing wire EDM machines

Taking the GF processing scheme equipment declared by a German-funded enterprise in March 2025 as an example,the declaration was rejected due to the failure to specify the equipment’s model and serial number during the customs clearance process.pulse power parametersduring customs declaration triggered customs classification queries,resulting in 120,000 RMB delayed declaration fees.The value of professional agency services is precisely reflected in these key aspects:

Analysis of practical cases

When a certain medical mold company imported a Mitsubishi slow wire-cutting machine in 2025:
