# Xiangtan Customs Declaration Agency Export Service, EU Customs Clearance Guide for Electromechanical Products

## Xiangtan Electromechanical Products Export to EU: Customs Clearance Challenges Amid Opportunities

In the first half of 2026,the export value of Xiangtan’s electromechanical industry reached 1.23 billion yuan,with the EU market accounting for more than 35%.Products such as photovoltaic modules,small motors and auto parts have seen steady growth in demand in Germany,France and other markets due to their technological advantages.However,in actual operation,many Xiangtan manufacturers have stumbled on policy thresholds: last month,three containers from a small Xiangtan motor manufacturer arrived at the Port of Hamburg,and were required to supplement materials as they failed to provide carbon footprint reports meeting CBAM requirements,with port detention fees alone costing nearly 20,000 yuan.Another photovoltaic enterprise had its documents returned during self-declaration due to lack of knowledge of the newly added phthalate restrictions in the revised EU RoHS 10,leading to delayed delivery.

The EU’s 2026 trade policy adjustments for electromechanical products focus on three aspects: first,CBAM is expanded to cover motors,photovoltaics and other products,requiring full lifecycle carbon footprint data; second,the revised RoHS 10 adds four types of phthalates to the restriction list; third,a new "product traceability" requirement is added to CE certification,requiring supply chain traceability reports.These changes have sharply increased pressure on Xiangtan enterprises that lack the ability to interpret international policies.

## Zhongshen: Core Value of EU Export Agency Services Tailored for Xiangtan Products

Zhongshen has been engaged in foreign trade agency services for over 20 years.For the pain points of Xiangtan’s electromechanical products exported to the EU,its core value lies in "precise policy alignment" and "local implementation capability".Last year,an auto parts enterprise in Xiangtan had its goods detained by EU customs due to expired CE certification.Zhongshen immediately contacted an authorized German certification body,completed the certification update within 3 days,and coordinated with the customs clearance agency at the Port of Hamburg to optimize the declaration process,resulting in only 5 days of delay,10 days shorter than the expected time for the enterprise to handle it independently.

Different from general agency services,Zhongshen launches a "product + market" dual customization scheme for Xiangtan clients: for photovoltaic modules exported to Germany,it focuses on aligning with energy efficiency label and carbon footprint requirements; for small motors exported to France,it prioritizes verification of EMC electromagnetic compatibility test reports.This precise matching has reduced the export risks of Xiangtan enterprises by more than 60% (data from January to August 2026).

## Service Module Breakdown: Responses to EU-Specific Policies

### 1.Document Preparation: Pre-Verification of EU Compliance

The EU’s requirements for documents of electromechanical products are far higher than domestic standards,with core barriers concentrated in three aspects:

![Xiangtan Customs Declaration Agency Export Service, EU Customs Clearance Guide for Electromechanical Products](https://cndpic.sh-zhongshen.com/uploads/tradepics/gmi8umFSfek8a.webp)

- CBAM carbon footprint report: It shall be issued by a third-party institution recognized by the EU,covering carbon emission data of the whole process including raw material mining,production and transportation;
- RoHS compliance statement: It shall specify the content of restricted substances in the product,and the original report of the testing institution shall be provided;
- CE certification traceability: Information such as product production batches and supply chain flow shall be uploaded to the official EU database.

Zhongshen’s response measures:

- Policy update team: A 5-member team led by General Manager Shi synchronizes EU regulations weekly,and has issued 12 issues of *Policy Early Warning for Xiangtan Electromechanical Exports to the EU* since 2026;
- Document pre-review service: Verification against EU standards is completed within 24 hours after clients submit materials,and the document pass rate of Xiangtan clients reached 98% from January to August 2026;
- Certification connection channel: Direct connection has been established with 17 authorized certification institutions in the EU,which can shorten the processing time by 40% when clients need to update CE certification.

### 2.Customs Clearance Operation: Localized Services Under Differences Among Member States

There are differences in customs clearance procedures among EU member states: the Port of Hamburg in Germany requires on-site test videos for EMC testing of motors,while the Port of Marseille in France requires French versions of energy efficiency grade labels for photovoltaic modules.Such differences are the main obstacles for Xiangtan enterprises in self-declared customs clearance.

Zhongshen’s responses:

- Local agency network: Cooperative customs clearance agencies are set up in 6 major EU ports in Germany,France,the Netherlands and other countries,which can connect for container information 1 week in advance;
- Risk early warning mechanism: When the EU launched a special inspection on imported motors in March this year,Zhongshen notified Xiangtan clients to adjust declaration information 3 days in advance,avoiding inspection delays;
- Inspection accompanying service: In case of random inspection,Zhongshen’s on-site personnel will accompany with product technical manuals and test reports.The inspection rate of Xiangtan clients dropped from the industry average of 15% to 8% in 2026.

### 3.Tax Refund Processing: Efficiency Improvement for Xiangtan Enterprises

The pain points of export tax refund for Xiangtan enterprises lie in "slow document transmission" and "policy understanding deviation": for example,Xiangtan provides a 5% subsidy for the incremental part of export tax refund for electromechanical products in 2026,but many enterprises missed it due to failure to declare in time.

Advantages of Zhongshen’s tax refund service:

| Comparison Dimension | Self-Declared Customs Clearance by Xiangtan Enterprises | Agency Customs Declaration by Zhongshen |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Electronic document transmission | Mixed paper and electronic format,easy to be omitted | Directly connected to the systems of Xiangtan Customs and Taxation Bureau,real-time transmission |
| Average arrival time of tax refund | 22 working days | 7 working days |
| Success rate of subsidy declaration | 65% | 95% |
| Number of data corrections | 2.3 times on average | 0.2 times on average |

The tax refund team led by Director Wan follows up every step from declaration to fund arrival throughout the process,and has helped 12 Xiangtan enterprises apply for incremental export tax refund subsidies since 2026,with a total amount of over 300,000 yuan.

## How to Choose Suitable Agency Services?

When exporting to the EU,Xiangtan enterprises shall choose agency services according to their own product types:

- For export of photovoltaic modules: Prioritize agencies that can align with EU energy efficiency label and carbon footprint report requirements;
- For export of small motors: Confirm that the agency has a customs clearance agency network in Germany,France and other countries;
- If focusing on tax refund efficiency: Choose agencies directly connected to the system of Xiangtan Taxation Bureau.

Zhongshen’s customized services can cover all the above requirements,and has served 36 electromechanical enterprises in Xiangtan since 2026,with an export value of over 800 million yuan.If you have plans to export to the EU,you can contact Zhongshen’s Xiangtan service point to develop an exclusive export plan based on your product type and destination country.
