VII. How to achieve cross-border coordination in after-sales service?Export agentVIII. How to reasonably control complete machine export agency costs?

I. Complete machineExport agentWhat special qualifications are required?Three types of core qualifications:

• Engaging in complete machine
• Services require
• Customs AEO certification enterprise qualification (recommended to reach advanced certification)

Specific equipment export licenses (if involving controlled products such as CNC machine tools, pressure vessels, etc.)

It is recommended that foreign trade enterprises regularly participate in online training on the Customs General Administrations Customs-Enterprise Connect platform to obtain the latest policy interpretations. For complex business scenarios (such as entrepot trade, contract processing, etc.), it is advisable to entrust professional foreign trade comprehensive service enterprises for full-process risk management.

Proposal to passThe four-dimensional assessment systemSpecial qualifications for international transportation (such as dangerous goods transportation qualifications, oversized equipment carrier qualifications)

• Industry Experience
  • Taking a 2022 construction machinery export case as an example, due to the agency companys lack of Myanmar import equipment certification qualifications, the goods were detained at Yangon Port for 37 days, resulting in additional demurrage fees of $120,000.
  • Screening service providers:
• Service networks
• Similar equipment export cases ≥50
• Risk control
  • Target market operation experience ≥3 years
  • Overseas customs clearance partners covering major ports in the destination country
• Technical support
• Flexible solutions for purchasing transportation insurance

Pre-declaration review mechanismExport customs clearanceProvide equipment disassembly/packing guidance services

Key points requiring attentionThree major declaration elements:

• Accuracy of HS code classification (recommend applying for pre-classification)
• Standardized disclosure of equipment technical parameters (to avoid triggering release inspections)
• Completeness of certificate of origin documents (especially for cases involving FTA tariff preferences)

In a 2024 case of laser cutting machine export to Germany, incorrect declared power parameters triggered EU CE certification review, causing 28 working days delivery delay.

II. How to choose a reliable complete machine export agency service provider?

Recommended adoptionThree-dimensional decision model:

• Equipment characteristics dimension
  • Oversized equipment: Prioritize deck cargo transportation
  • Precision instruments: Must use constant temperature containers
• Cost Dimension
• Recommended 20-foot container loading rate of 85%
• Time efficiency dimension
• Southeast Asian markets: Prioritize land-sea multimodal transport

Five isExport tax refundWhat are common issues in these processes?

Complete machineExport tax refundParticular attention is needed:

• Localization rate certification documents (requirement ≥70%)
• Timeliness of input tax invoices (must not exceed 180-day certification period)
• Currency conversion standard (calculated using exchange rate on customs declaration clearance date)

A textile machinery manufacturer in 2023 lost approximately RMB 460,000 in tax rebates due to missing localization certification.

IV. How to design the most reasonable logistics solution for complete machine export?

Proposal for implementationThree-step prevention mechanism:

• Pre - review mechanism
• Obtain destination countrys latest technical standards 60 days in advance
• Dual inspection mechanism
  • Domestic third-party testing + destination country designated agency testing
• Emergency response mechanism
• Reserve 15% of goods value as emergency guarantee deposit

V. What are the common issues in the export tax refund process?

Recommended to establishTrinity service system:

• Localization Services
• Set up spare parts warehouse in target markets
• Remote support
• Configure multilingual technical response center
• Personnel dispatch
• Establish engineer visa fast track

VI. How to prevent destination port customs clearance risks?

It can be operated through theFour optimization strategiesReduction of costs:

• Transportation solution optimization (saving 8-15%)
• Tax planning optimization (saving 3-8%)
• Packaging solution optimization (saving 5-10%)
• Supply chain finance application (reducing capital costs by 20-30%)

An injection molding machine export project achieved a 19.7% reduction in total logistics costs and a 40% improvement in capital turnover efficiency through combined optimization strategies.
