Upgrading of material supervisionNew energyAgainst the background of stricter environmental protection regulations, special attention needs to be paid to EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) compliance, such as German Packaging Law registration, REACH testing of plastic parts (phthalate content ≤ 0.1%).
Regional Mandatory CertificationsRequirements for origin tracing
US anti - dumping duties (for steel and aluminum products from specific countries), EU origin marking rules (Made in China permanent marking depth ≥ 0.3mm) directly affect customs clearance costs and timeliness.
Cultural and Religious NormsCase evidence:
