Used optical cableequipment. 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

The 2025 global optical communication equipment upgrade wave accelerates, with surging demand for used optical cable production equipment imports. Unlike new equipment imports, used equipment involvesequipment depreciation rate verification,Environmental Compliance Review,technical parameter matchingthree core elements. According to China Customs Announcement No. 38 of 2025, used communication equipment imports require original factory documents and service life proof, with residual value assessment deviation not exceeding 15% of declared value.

Four key stages of the import process

• Pre-review phase (30 working days)
  • Verify equipment compliance with the 2025 edition of Catalog of Used Mechanical and Electrical Products for Import
  • Obtain pre-shipment inspection certificate (requires internationally recognized inspection agency approved by customs)
• Customs declaration phase
  • HS code recommendation: 8475210000 (optical cable manufacturing equipment)
  • Tariff rate: The provisional rate for 2025 is 8% (requires providingIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:certificate)
• Technical rectification phase
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) modification
  • Safety protection device upgrade (must comply with GB 5226.1-2025 standard)
• Acceptance and delivery phase
  • Customs on-site verification of equipment actual condition
  • Quality re-inspection by local regulatory authorities

Practical experience in risk prevention

A typical case encountered by a Suzhou enterprise when importing German-made SCT-2000 fiber drawing machine in March 2025:

• Risk point 1: Technical parameter deviation
  • Actual equipment power exceeds declared value by 18%
  • Solution: Emergency handling of energy efficiency certification supplementary declaration
• Risk point 2: Concealed damage
  • Fiber cooling system has undeclared maintenance records
  • Solution: Initiate insurance claim procedure to recover losses

Value dimensions of agency services

Professional agency companies can save enterprises 23% of comprehensive costs (data source: 2025import and exportService Industry White Paper):

• Establish including proforma invoice, packing list,: Identify 85% of declaration flaws in advance
• Tariff optimization plan: Utilize free trade agreements to achieve tariff concessions
• Emergency response network: Emergency response mechanism at 42 ports nationwide

Six mandatory inspection items for equipment acceptance

• Transmission system wear detection (using specialized laser measuring instrument)
• Electrical system insulation performance test (withstand voltage ≥2500V)
• Control system software version verification (must be compatible with domestic operating systems)
• Safety protection device effectiveness verification (emergency stop response time ≤0.5 seconds)
• Environmental indicator testing (noise ≤75 decibels, dust emission ≤15mg/m3)
• Matching mold integrity confirmation (tolerance range ±0.01mm)
