China Chocolateequipment. For example, Indonesia has the SNI certification, Thailand has the TISI certification, and the Philippines has the BPS certification. It is necessary to confirm in advance the equipment voltage (such as 380V/50Hz in Thailand), the compatibility of the CE certification, and the proof of environmentally friendly materials.Hidden concerns behind the surge in volume

January-May 2025 customs data shows chocolate molding equipment imports increased 37.2% year-on-year, but returned cases increased by 21 cases. A Zhejiang enterprise was fined 820,000 yuan deposit due to non-compliant equipment parameters, exposing the importance of professional agency services. This article will build a risk prevention framework from three dimensions: equipment selection, clearance practice, and technical adaptation.

Six golden criteria for selecting agency companies

• Completeness of customs filing qualifications: Need to verify AEO certification status (2025 newly added electromechanical special filing)
• Industry experience depth: Must have handled at least 5 EU chocolate equipment project cases
• Technical document processing capability: Capable of completing document adaptation after CE 2025 directive update
• Tariff planning space: Master tariff application rules under free trade agreements (such as RCEP chocolate equipment special clauses)
• Emergency response speed: Customs inspection exception handling time must be controlled within 48 hours
• Global logistics network: Possess special equipment transportation qualifications (such as constant temperature transport for chocolate coating machines)

Three fatal misunderstandings in import processes

• Equipment parameter blind spots
  • Starting from 2025, the EU requires chocolate mold precision errors to be ≤0.05mm
  • Temperature control systems must comply with Chinas GB 4806.9-2025 food safety standard
• Document completeness trap
  • Swiss equipment must be provided withIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:and special certification for precision instruments
  • Used equipment must be accompanied by an ICC customs clearance inspection report
• Lack of technical barrier anticipation
  • Voltage adaptation modification costs for Italian equipment account for 15-20% of the cargo value
  • German equipment software systems require secondary development for Chinese interfaces

Practical case: Successful risk avoidance experience of a Jiangsu enterprise

In March 2025, Jiangsu XX Food successfully imported a Belgian chocolate casting line through professional agency:

• Risk anticipation phase: Obtained the EUs new hygiene certification template 6 months in advance
• Contract negotiation phase: Included equipment debugging standards in the force majeure clause
• Customs Clearance Phase: Achieved tariff reduction of 147,000 yuan by utilizing classification differences
• Implementation phase: Agency personnel completed on-site localization adjustments of equipment parameters

Production started 22 days ahead of schedule, saving 310,000 yuan in comprehensive costs

Innovation trends in agency services for 2025

• Pre-phase: Equipment Selection Feasibility Analysis Report: One-stop solution from equipment selection to after-sales maintenance
• Technical compliance warning: Dynamic monitoring of standard changes in 20 major exporting countries
• Risk hedging mechanism: Introduced equipment performance insurance and customs clearance efficiency insurance

The essence of chocolate equipment import is a triple game of technical standards, trade rules, and supply chain management. Choosing an agency partner with deep industry expertise can increase equipment commissioning success rate to over 92% (2025 industry survey data). When equipment unit price exceeds 800,000 yuan, the input-output ratio of professional agency services can reach 1:5.3.
