Analysis of Key Points in the Process of Importing Construction Machinery

According to the latest customs data for 2025, China's import value of construction machinery is expected to exceed $22 billion, among whichTunnel boring equipment,All-terrain craneandConcrete pump truckThe three categories of equipment account for 47% of the total import volume.

Three core modules in the import process

• Commodity classification verification
  • HS Code Dynamic Update Monitoring (3 New Subcategories for Construction Machinery Added in 2025)
  • Core parameter comparison (engine power, operating weight, attachment configuration)
• Access qualification acquisition
  • 3CHandling of Certification for Non-Catalogued Items
  • Pre-shipment inspection of used mechanical and electrical equipment
• Optimization of Logistics Solutions
  • Oversized equipment transportation route planning
  • Coordination of Special Lifting Operations at Ports
