It is recommended to evaluate the agency company from four dimensions:Industry Experience(At least completed 3 export cases of machine tool products),Scope of Services(Should include the entire process of customs declaration, international certification, and destination port clearance),Compliance Capacity(Familiar with special regulatory requirements such as U.S. ITAR and EU Machinery Directive),Emergency Treatment(Has practical cases of handling customs inspection and detention of goods). Industry data for 2025 shows that professional machinery export agency service costs account for about 3-8% of the cargo value.

What international certifications are required for thread rolling machine export?

Basic certifications include:

• EU CE certification (must include Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC)
• Russian GOST certification (new EAC-TR technical specifications added in 2025)
• North America requires both UL certification and NRTL mark

Specifically reminded:Southeast Asian countries have implemented an import filing system for machine tool products since 2024, requiring advance preparation of ISO 16090-1:2025 machining center safety standard documents.

What packaging requirements should be noted for shipping thread rolling machines?

Based on our experience handling 37 thread rolling machine export cases, we recommend usingThree levels of protection:

• Anti-rust layer: VCI vapor phase rust preventive film + desiccant
• Cushioning layer: 5cm thick EPE foam
• Outer packaging: Fumigated wooden case (compliant with ISPM15 standard)

The new IMO regulations for 2025 require that equipment weighing over 2 tons per piece must be marked with the center of gravity position and lifting points.

How to determine the HS code for thread rolling machines?

It is recommended to confirm according to the following steps:

• Basic classification: Machine tool products are generally classified under heading 8462
• Functional subdivision: Thread processing equipment should be specifically classified under 8462.10
• Parameter confirmation: The processing diameter range affects the final tariff code

In 2024, a company was fined €120,000 by EU customs for incorrectly declaring Φ50mm equipment as Φ30mm category. It is recommended to delegate to an agency company forpre-classification ruling.

Five isExport to the United StatesWhat special documents need to be prepared?

In addition to regular documents, the following are also required:

• Certificate of origin (applicable to 301 tariff increase cases)
• Importer Security Filing (ISF-10)
• Mechanical safety compliance statement (OSHA standards)

In 2025, U.S. Customs will implementbearing components100% X-ray inspection for machine tool products, requiring advance preparation of supply chain document traceability.

Which trade term is more advantageous: DDP or FOB?

From the data of the past three years:

• The proportion of FOB chosen in Southeast Asian markets reached 78%
• DDP mode in European and American markets grew by 40%

It is recommended to choose according to customer type:
End usersprioritize DDP (including on-site installation services),Traderscan adopt FOB to simplify the process. A German customer saved 15% on local logistics costs due to DDP terms.

How to choose between sea freight and rail transport?

Comparative analysis:

• Sea freight cost: $1800-2500/40HQ (China-Hamburg)
• China-Europe Railway Express: 15 days faster, 30% higher cost
• Sea freight + trucking: The most cost-effective comprehensive solution

In 2025, a new Zhengzhou-Moscow dedicated train will be added, reducing transit time to 12 days, suitable for urgent orders in the Russian market.

VIII.Export tax refundHow to calculate?

Taking a 13% tax rebate rate as an example:

• Tax rebate amount = (FOB price × exchange rate) ÷ 1.13 × 13%
• Prepare special VAT invoices for purchases
• Note the consistency between the customs declaration form and the product name on the invoice

A company lost 420,000 yuan in tax refunds in 2024 due to model declaration discrepancies.

How to deal with anti-dumping investigation risks?

Three preventive measures are recommended:

• Establish a raw material traceability system (proving non-forced labor products)
• Maintain complete cost accounting records
• Purchase export credit insurance (covering anti-dumping tariffs)

In Q2 2025, the EU launched an anti-circumvention investigation on Chinese machine tool products. Complete document preparation helped an agency client avoid penalties.

How to control exchange rate fluctuation risks?

Recommended combination approach:

• 50% payment using forward settlement to lock in exchange rates
• 30% using cross-border RMB settlement
• 20% purchasing exchange rate options to hedge risks

Q2 2025 data shows companies using combination strategies reduced exchange rate losses by 62%.
