In 2024,a provincial-level children’s hospital imported a German gait training system through a professional agent,which saved 22 days of customs clearance time compared with self-importation and avoided a tax loss of 68,000 yuan due to classification errors.This demonstrates the irreplaceable role of professional services in complex trade environments.

Choosing an agent service provider with AEO advanced certification and practical case studies in medical device import will be a key decision for medical equipment import enterprises to seize market opportunities in 2025.It is recommended that enterprises focus on evaluating the core indicators such as the overseas customs clearance network coverage and the response speed to emergency situations of the service providers.
