# Core Services and Compliance Points of Parts Import Customs Clearance Agency

## Market Background and Common Pain Points of Parts Import

In the first half of 2026,the import volume of auto parts and construction machinery parts at Shanghai Port increased by 18% year-on-year,of which more than 60% came from manufacturing powerhouses such as Germany and Japan.Many local auto parts dealers in Shanghai reported that auto engine parts imported from Germany are often detained during port inspection due to problems such as "inconsistent certificate of origin" and "non-compliance with environmental testing standards",and the storage cost for a single batch of goods exceeds 2000 RMB per day.Meanwhile,for hydraulic pump parts imported from Japan,due to "insufficient compatibility between JIS standards and Chinese GB standards",3 batches of goods have been required for re-inspection,with a single batch delay exceeding 7 working days.

## Core Role of Zhongshen in Parts Import

As a local Shanghai enterprise with more than 20 years of experience in foreign trade agency,Zhongshen has built a full-process service system of "document pre-audit - port coordination - follow-up tracking" for the pain points of parts import.Its core advantage is that it can accurately match the compliance requirements of parts from different countries.From 2025 to 2026,it has handled more than 12,000 batches of parts import business,of which German and Japanese parts account for more than 70%,and the customer repurchase rate reaches 89%.

## Process Decomposition and Service Implementation of Parts Import Customs Declaration

### 1.Document Pre-audit: Avoid "Discrepancy" Risks in Advance

In 2026,Germany and Japan require accessories exported to China to provide**EU CE Certification** (Germany) and **Japanese JIS Standard Certification** (Japan),and simultaneously submit **Certificate of Origin (FORM A)** and **Packing List (including part model/specification/material details)**.Many enterprises have inconsistent documents due to "expired CE certification" and "no specific part model marked on the certificate of origin",which directly affects customs declaration efficiency.

Processing method of Zhongshen:

- 3-5 working days before shipment,customers are required to provide scanned copies of all documents,which are checked one by one by the document team led by Supervisor Jia: For German parts,confirm that the validity period of CE certification is ≥ 6 months; for Japanese parts,verify the compatibility between JIS standards and Chinese GB standards;
- For "vague models" provided by customers (such as only marking "engine parts" without specific codes),we assist in supplementing the Detailed List of Parts Models to ensure consistency with the customs declaration form;
- In 2025,we assisted an auto parts company in handling gearbox parts imported from Germany.The customer did not notice the "update version requirement" of CE certification,we found the old version was invalid during pre-audit,and contacted the German supplier in advance to reissue the new version,avoiding the loss of being unable to declare customs after the goods arrived at the port.

### 2.Port Customs Declaration: Accurately Match Customs Supervision Requirements

In 2026,Shanghai Customs focuses its supervision on parts import on **"accuracy of classification code"** and **"rationality of declared value"**: Classification error may lead to tariff rate deviation (for example,wrong classification of automotive brake discs changes the tariff from 8% to 12%),if the declared value is lower than the customs reference price,a Price Explanation Letter and supplier invoice are required for support.

Service actions of Zhongshen:

- 1 working day before customs declaration,Manager Qu coordinates with the customs pre-classification team to confirm the HS code of the parts (for example,the HS code of automotive ABS sensor is 8543709990),to avoid classification errors;
- For cases where the declared value is lower than the customs reference price,we prepare Supplier Historical Transaction Records and Market Quotation Sheet of Similar Parts in advance.In March 2026,we assisted a construction machinery company to import Japanese hydraulic pump parts,the deviation between the declared value and the customs reference price was 5%,we passed the review smoothly by supplementing materials,and no storage fee was incurred;

### 3.Commodity Inspection (CIQ): Implement Parts Quarantine and Environmental Requirements

In 2026,China added **"material environmental protection testing"** to the commodity inspection requirements for imported parts (for example,plastic parts need to meet RoHS testing standards,and metal parts need to test heavy metal content).At the same time,for **used parts** (such as refurbished automobile engines),it is required to provide Refurbishment Process Description and Quality Inspection Report.

Key points of assistance from Zhongshen:

- 2 working days before commodity inspection,we coordinate with local third-party testing institutions in Shanghai (such as SGS) to conduct pre-RoHS testing on parts in advance,to ensure the results meet Chinese standards;
- For used parts,we assist customers to organize Supplier Refurbishment Qualification Certificate and Product Quality Guarantee Certificate.In May 2026,we handled used construction machinery crawler parts imported by a company.Since the "wear resistance test report of crawler material" needed to be supplemented during commodity inspection,we contacted the testing institution in advance to issue an urgent report,and completed commodity inspection and release in only 1 working day;

## Efficiency and Cost Comparison: Self-Import vs Zhongshen Agency Import

| Comparison Dimension | Self-Import | Import via Zhongshen Agency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Document Review Time | 3-5 working days (prone to missing items) | 1-2 working days (accurate verification) |
| Customs Clearance Time | 5-7 working days (prone to delay due to classification error) | 2-3 working days (guaranteed by pre-classification) |
| Commodity Inspection and Release Time | 7-10 working days (need to coordinate testing by yourself) | 3-5 working days (urgent processing via cooperative testing institutions) |
| Potential Risk Cost | Storage fee (2000-5000 RMB per day) + tariff deviation (up to 4%) | Almost zero (avoided via pre-audit and pre-classification) |
| Total Time Cost | 15-22 working days | 6-10 working days |

## Real Case: Emergency Handling of New Energy Parts Import

In April 2026,a new energy auto parts company in Shanghai planned to import a batch of battery management system (BMS) parts from Japan.Due to the special commodity inspection requirements for "lithium battery parts",the company did not notice that the "thermal stability test report of battery materials" needs to be attached to the commodity inspection documents when handling by itself,and the goods were detained after inspection upon arrival at the port.After the company contacted General Manager Rao of Zhongshen,Rao’s team immediately coordinated with the Japanese supplier to supplement the test report,and contacted Shanghai Commodity Inspection Bureau to explain the situation.The commodity inspection and release were completed in only 3 working days,avoiding a storage fee of 3000 RMB per day,and saved 10 working days compared with the customer handling it by themselves.

## Conclusion: Value Embodiment of Professional Agency

In 2026,the compliance requirements for parts import will only become stricter.Self-handling by enterprises is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive,but may also generate high costs due to negligence in details.With more than 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen controls the whole process from document pre-audit to commodity inspection release,helping enterprises accurately match the compliance requirements of various countries,greatly improve customs clearance efficiency,and reduce risks such as storage and tariff deviation.For enterprises that need to import parts,choosing a professional agency is not only "peace of mind",but also the key to "saving money".
