58. Breedingequipment. 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.59. Analysis of Six Core Steps

60. According to the newly revised 2025 'Mechanical and Electrical Products Import Management Measures', breeding equipment imports must strictly follow these procedures:

• Equipment classification confirmation
  • Categorization of feeding systems/environmental control equipment/milking machinery and other types
  • Verification of customs commodity codes (recommended to use 2025 version HS CODE)
• Import qualification review
  • Application for automatic import license (O certificate)
  • 3CConfirmation of certification exemption conditions
• Overseas supplier screening
  • Verification of manufacturer's filing records in China
  • Confirmation of equipment technical parameters compliance with national standards

2025 tariff policy and free trade agreement application

According to the Ministry of Finance's 2025 tariff adjustment plan, new changes have emerged in the import of breeding equipment:

• Most-favored-nation tariff rate for milking machinery remains at 8%
• Feed processing equipment reduced to 5%
• Specific equipment under RCEP agreement can enjoy zero tariff

Special reminder:Starting from January 2025, ASEANIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:The electronic networking system will be fully operational, and it is recommended to prioritize suppliers from member countries that have already accessed the system.

Three major risk controls in customs clearance practice

• Prevention of commodity classification disputes
  • Case: A company mistakenly classified incubation equipment under 8436.80 when it should be under 8436.21
  • Countermeasures: Apply for advance classification ruling in advance
• Wooden packaging quarantine regulations
  • Must provide IPPC mark
  • Fumigation treatment certificate validity period shortened to 21 days
• Used equipment import restrictions
  • Prohibition on importing breeding machinery used for over 8 years
  • Need to provide notarized documents of equipment service life

Four-dimensional evaluation for professional agency service selection

• For coastal ports, give priority to agents with branch companies in
  • Focus on port emergency response teams
  • Confirm local customs declaration qualifications at major ports
• Technical document processing experience
  • Capability to convert drawings required for electromechanical review
  • Conversion between CE certification and national standard compliance declaration
• Tax optimization plan design
  • Application of preferential tariff rates under free trade agreements
  • Feasibility analysis of component breakdown customs declaration
• After-sales service response mechanism
  • Response time commitment for customs inquiries
  • Control plan for port demurrage charges

Latest industry regulatory updates and response suggestions

In 2025, the General Administration of Customs implemented two new regulations for breeding equipment imports:

• implementationTraceability label system for electromechanical products
  • All imported equipment must be affixed with traceable electronic labels
  • Label information must completely match customs declaration data
• StrengthenEnvironmental performance testing
  • New energy efficiency level verification requirements
  • Wastewater discharge devices must provide third-party test reports

It is recommended that import companies start compliance preparations 3 months in advance, select agency service providers with Ministry of Agriculture filing qualifications, and ensure equipment parameters comply with the 2025 version of 'Technical Specifications for Large-scale Breeding Equipment' requirements.
