# Zhengzhou Large Equipment Import Agency: Full Process Implementation from German Procurement to Customs Clearance

## Zhengzhou Large Equipment Import: Core Pain Points from German Procurement to Customs Clearance

In 2026,the import demand for large equipment from Germany and Japan in Zhengzhou’s equipment manufacturing,printing and other industries increases by 18% year on year,but many enterprises encounter various troubles during import.For example,the CE certification of a German brand printing press fails to well align with Chinese commodity inspection standards,overweight large equipment leads to failure of normal unloading at the port,and missing documents cause port detention fees exceeding the budget.Last year,Ms.Liu from a printing enterprise in Zhengzhou imported a Heidelberg printing press.Due to errors in checking technical parameters during the commodity inspection process,the equipment was detained at the port for 12 days,resulting in extra port detention fees of more than 80,000 yuan.

## Core Values of Zhongshen in Large Equipment Import

Zhongshen has been deeply engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years.In response to the demand of Zhengzhou enterprises for importing large equipment,it has built a full-process service system covering overseas supplier docking,document pre-examination and port customs clearance.Supervisor Xiang,a veteran employee of Zhongshen’s import department who has handled nearly 100 import cases of large equipment from Germany and Japan,said,"Importing large equipment is not simple customs declaration.You need to understand the technical standards of equipment and compliance requirements of different countries,otherwise enterprises are very easy to run into risks."

## Disassembly of Full Process of Large Equipment Import: Key Links from Pre-examination to Customs Clearance

### 1.Document Pre-examination: Pass the First Check of Compliance

The document requirements for importing large German equipment are stricter than those for ordinary goods.In addition to the regular packing list,invoice and bill of lading,the following documents are also required:

- CE certification of the equipment (including the declaration of conformity for Machinery Safety Directive 2006/42/EC and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU)
- Certificate of origin (needs to be certified by the German Chamber of Commerce to avoid the failure to enjoy tariff preferences)
- Chinese operation manual and calibration report of the equipment (required for commodity inspection)

Zhongshen will pre-examine the documents provided by the supplier in advance before the equipment is shipped from Germany.For example,when Ms.Liu’s enterprise imported the printing press last year,the CE certification provided by the supplier only covered the Machinery Safety Directive and lacked the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.After Zhongshen found this problem in advance,it assisted the enterprise to contact the German supplier to supplement the materials,avoiding the problem of inconsistent documents after shipment.

### 2.Port Customs Declaration: Cope with Special Requirements for Large Equipment

For large equipment (single unit weight over 10 tons,volume over 40 cubic meters),there are two unique difficulties in customs declaration at the port:

- Application for oversize cargo transportation permit: The transportation from the port to Zhengzhou needs to be applied to the transportation department in advance,otherwise it cannot enter the expressway
- Reservation of customs inspection: Large equipment cannot be unpacked and stacked,so the inspection time needs to be reserved in advance to avoid port detention

Zhongshen will coordinate with the port customs in advance to open a green channel for inspection reservation,and assist enterprises to handle oversize cargo transportation permits at the same time.For example,in 2025,when an auto parts enterprise in Zhengzhou imported large stamping equipment from Japan,Zhongshen reserved the customs inspection 3 days in advance.The inspection was completed on the day the equipment arrived at the port,and the oversize cargo transportation to Zhengzhou was arranged the next day,saving 5 days compared with the conventional process.

### 3.Commodity Inspection: Accurate Checking of Technical Parameters

Large equipment belongs to statutory inspection commodities,and the core of the commodity inspection link is to check whether the technical parameters of the equipment meet Chinese GB standards.For example,the printing accuracy of printing presses needs to meet GB/T 18389-2001 *Quality Requirements and Inspection Methods for Offset Printed Products*,and the pressure parameters of stamping equipment need to meet GB 15077-2017 *Safety Technical Requirements for Forging Machinery*.

| Equipment Type | China’s Unique Commodity Inspection Standard | Assistance Provided by Zhongshen |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Printing Press | GB/T 18389-2001 (Printing Accuracy) | Prepare equipment calibration report in advance,and cooperate with commodity inspection personnel to test printing accuracy on site |
| Stamping Equipment | GB 15077-2017 (Pressure Parameters) | Coordinate with equipment suppliers to provide Chinese technical parameter sheets,and communicate with commodity inspection institutions in advance |
| CNC Machine Tool | GB 18565-2016 (Safety Protection) | Check whether the safety protection device of the equipment meets Chinese standards,and supplement relevant instructions |
| Packaging Equipment | GB 4706.1-2005 (Electrical Safety) | Check the electrical safety certification of the equipment,and assist in providing Chinese electrical schematic diagrams |

When Ms.Liu’s enterprise imported the printing press last year,commodity inspection personnel found that the printing accuracy parameters of the equipment had slight differences with Chinese standards.Supervisor Xiang of Zhongshen immediately contacted the German supplier to provide the calibrated parameter report,and the commodity inspection was passed on the same day,avoiding secondary inspection.

## Practical Case: Zhongshen Helps Zhengzhou Enterprise Save 120,000 Yuan in Port Detention Fees

In 2025,Ms.Liu from a printing enterprise in Zhengzhou planned to import a German Heidelberg XL106 printing press with a budget of 12 million yuan.The agency she initially hired was not familiar with the commodity inspection requirements for German equipment,so after the equipment arrived at the port,it was detained for 15 days due to the lack of Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive in the CE certification,resulting in 120,000 yuan of port detention fees.Later,Ms.Liu contacted Zhongshen,and after Supervisor Xiang took over the case:

- Step 1: Contact the German supplier to supplement the declaration of conformity for the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
- Step 2: Reserve the port customs inspection time in advance,and coordinate the handling of oversize cargo transportation permit
- Step 3: Cooperate with commodity inspection personnel to check printing accuracy parameters,and provide calibration reports

Finally,the customs clearance and transportation of the equipment were completed in only 7 days,saving 120,000 yuan of port detention fees compared with the previous agency.It was also put into production 10 days in advance,generating an extra output value of 300,000 yuan for the enterprise.

## Summary: Professional Agency is the "Stabilizer" for Large Equipment Import

In 2026,the competition in Zhengzhou’s large equipment import market intensifies.Enterprises should not only pay attention to the performance and price of equipment,but also attach importance to compliance risks in the import process.With more than 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen is familiar with the compliance requirements for large equipment from Germany,Japan and other countries,and can help enterprises avoid problems such as missing documents and unqualified commodity inspection in advance,increasing import efficiency by more than 30% and reducing compliance risks by 80%.Ms.Liu said,"I will definitely choose Zhongshen for large equipment import in the future.They know the equipment and the process,which is much more hassle-free than handling it on our own."
