Laboratoryequipment. 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.Complex characteristics of

In 2025, the global market size of laboratory equipment is expected to exceed 68 billion US dollars. However, 67% of the purchasers still encounter a sharp increase in hidden costs during the import process. For precision instruments, they are unique in...Technical SensitivityandRegulatory particularitiesForm a double barrier:

• Equipment such as spectrometers involvesDual - use item regulation
• Ultra - low - temperature refrigerators need to comply withEnvironmental protection refrigerant standards
• Biological safety cabinets involveLevel 2Medical EquipmentImporters must have import and export filings with the customs and quarantine. Importing food is not possible without the right to import and export. If an importer does not have the right to import and export, it can choose to affiliate with a qualified company for import.

Analysis of the Four - stage Progressive Import Process

Take the import of a flow cytometer by a certain biotech company as an example. The time taken for the complete process has been reduced from 58 days of self - operation to 39 days of agency service:

• Pre - preparation Stage
  • Two - way verification of equipment parameters and HS codes
  • Pre - application for import license
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Verification of authenticity
• : In view of the shock - proof requirements of precision instruments, a composite packaging solution of air - cushion film + wooden box is recommended to reduce the cargo damage rate during transportation.
  • Three - level protection system for shock - absorbing packaging
  • Real - time monitoring system for constant - temperature transportation
  • Negotiation of the priority right to pick up containers at the port

Prevention and control of three major risks in the customs clearance process

In 2025, the General Administration of Customs added a special inspection catalog for laboratory equipment. Professional agency services can reduce the inspection probability by 48%:

• : Products subject to mandatory certification need to appoint a local agent in Singapore. The ownership of intellectual property rights should be clearly defined in the contract.: Declaration strategy for splitting mass spectrometer components
• Lack of technical information: Equivalence certificate of EU CE certification
• Control of demurrage charges: Achieve rapid release by using AEO certification

Value creation system of agency services

What high - quality service providers should possess5 core capabilities:

• Sanitary quarantine approval channel for special items
• The ability to implement the tax reduction and exemption policy for scientific research equipment
• The import value assessment system for used equipment
• The design of cross - border multimodal transport solutions
• The handling mechanism for post - sales quality disputes

The economic benefit analysis of typical cases

A certain third - party testing institution achieved through professional agency:

• Save 23% in import tariffs: Utilize the tax - free policy for scientific and educational supplies
• Reduce transportation costs by 18%: Optimize the loading plan at the port of shipment
• Shorten the equipment startup cycle by 41%: Prepare in advance for destination inspection
