How can equipment export agency teams break through professional barriers?

Special challenges faced

It is estimated that the global construction machinery market will exceed $450 billion in 2025,and the share of Chinese equipment exports will continue to rise to 28%.However,the export of equipment products faces unique challenges:The technical parameters are complex,the logistics solutions are customized,and there are differences in the certification systemsAnd other practical issues.A mining machinery company once suffered from a packaging scheme error,which resulted in the damage of equipment worth $3.2 million during transportation,with a direct loss amounting to 15% of the total value of the goods.
