The export of photovoltaic products involvesCountervailing duty,Product Certification、Green Energy Policyand other complex factors. The latest implementation by the EU in 2025Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)It is required to provide the full life cycle carbon emission data of photovoltaic modules, and professional agency companies can assist in completing this:

• Preparation of Product Carbon Footprint Certification Documents
• EU EPD Environmental Declaration Registration
• Addressing Supply Chain Scrutiny Under the U.S. UFLPA Act

How to Choose a Reliable Photovoltaic SystemExport agent?

It is recommended to evaluate the qualifications of the agency from five dimensions:

• Industry Experience: Have you handled export cases involving new types of modules such as TOPCon and HJT?
• Compliance Capacity: Does it have a customs team familiar with INCOTERMS 2025?
• Resource network: Customs clearance capacity at photovoltaic hub ports such as Rotterdam and Long Beach
• Risk control: Do you provide trade compliance audit services?
• Value Added Services: Can you assist with special procedures such as MIP exemption?

How to Tackle the Three Major Customs Clearance Challenges in PV Exports?

Based on our 2023 cases involving 327 photovoltaic export transactions, the main issues are concentrated in:

• HS code classification: The tariff difference between double-sided modules (8541.43) and single-sided modules (8541.42)
• Determination of origin: Compliance Issuance of FORM A Certificates Under Multinational Supply Chains
• Special supervision: The U.S. CBP's review requirements for supply chains in the Xinjiang region

• China-Europe Railway Express Photovoltaic Special Train Tariff Preferential Channel
• Exclusive Insurance Clauses for Maritime Transport of Photovoltaic Products (Covering Risks Such as Microcracks and PID Degradation)

What can an agency do when encountering trade barriers?

A professional agent should provideThree - level response mechanism:

• Pre-warning: Monitor policy changes in target markets (e.g., updates to India's ALMM list).
