New Solutions to the Funding Dilemma in Imports

After the implementation of the new version of the "Customs Tax Collection and Management Reform Plan" in 2025,the credit guarantee model of professional agencies has brought about fundamental changes in the import of medical devices.Taking the red light therapy device with a wavelength of 630nm as an example,a single imported device with a value of about $120,000 requires freezing funds equivalent to 30% of the total value under the traditional model,while the new agency model can achieve a fully zero-deposit operation throughout the entire process.

The Three Core Principles of the No-Deposit Agency Model

The Five-Dimensional Evaluation Method for Agency Selection

The special requirements for medical device imports necessitate that the agency must possess:

• CustomsAEOAdvancedCertificationqualification
• Medicaldeviceimportspecializedqualification
• Atleast5successfuloperationcases
• Completeriskcompensationmechanism
• Areal-timeupdatedregulatorydatabase

A dual safeguard system for risk prevention and control

Pre - event prevention and control: Through a triple verification mechanism consisting of pre-classification review of goods,pre-confirmation of origin,and compliance review of technical parameters,the declaration error rate is controlled below 0.2%.

Post-event relief:Establish a risk reserve pool of 2 million yuan to provide advance payment services for potential late declaration fees,late payment penalties,etc.ensuring the security of the enterprise’s capital chain.
