Pharmaceuticalequipment. 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.Special characteristics recognition

Importing pharmaceutical production equipment featuresThree high characteristics: High technical barriers (EU CE, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 certification systems), high regulatory risks (NMPAMedical Equipmentregistration certificate requirements), high tariff structures (3% provisional tariff rate for some equipment in 2025). Taking German freeze-dryer imports as example, must comply with bothMedical Device Classification Catalogmanagement andSpecial Equipment Safety Lawdual supervision.

Selection criteria for professional agency services

• Qualification Verification:
  • Medical Device Business License (Import Category)
  • Customs AEO Advanced Certification qualification
  • International transport of dangerous goods qualifications (involving cryogenic storage/transport equipment)
• Industry Cases:
  • BioreactorImport ClearanceLead time (average reduced from 45 days in 2024 to 30 days in 2025)
  • Sterilization equipment3CCertification conversion success rate (98% for professional agencies)
• Service Coverage:
  • Pre-inspection services at overseas factories
  • Technical documentation compliance modification
  • Localized inspection assistance

Key 2025 customs policy changes

• Tariff structure adjustments:
  • Bioreactor for cell culture reduced from 5% to 3%
  • Critical components of sterilization equipment maintained at 8%
• Medical device certificate processing:
  • Full implementation of electronic certificates (reduced by 20 working days)
  • Expanded mutual recognition scope for clinical trial data
• Check the technical passport (shall include 20 parameters such as bearing model and motor power):
  • Data security review for equipment software systems
  • Special verification of sterilization efficacy documentation

Key risk prevention points for entire import process

• Technical parameter review:
  • Power standards (380V/50Hz adaptation)
  • Measurement units (psi to MPa conversion proof)
• intellectual property protection.:
  • Patent search filing (avoid parallel import disputes)
  • Trademark authorization chain verification
• Optimization of Logistics Solutions:
  • Shock resistance certification (IEC 60068-2-6 standard)
  • Real-time temperature monitoring during transport (2-8℃ validation report)
• Force Majeure Clause:
  • Pandemic resurgence contingency plans
  • Geopolitical risk hedging

Conclusion

Selecting pharmaceutical equipment import agencies essentially buildsRisk control system. Professional agencies should possess capabilities to interpret2025 edition Chinese Pharmacopoeiaequipment requirements, be familiar withCustoms Administration Order No. 124latest amendments, and provide full lifecycle management services. Companies should focus on agencies'Technical regulation teamsconfiguration and: Achieve FBA transfer or B2B spot distribution through cooperation with overseas warehouses to improve delivery speed.Practical case study: Ensuring multi-million dollar precision equipment successfully integrates into GMP-certified production systems.
