# Analysis on Dalian Color Ultrasound Import Agency Process and Compliance Points

## Dalian Color Ultrasound Import Agency: Solving Customs Clearance Difficulties for Precision Medical Equipment

In the first half of 2026,the import volume of color ultrasound at Dalian Port increased by 11.8% year on year,among which high-end color ultrasound imported from Germany and Japan accounted for more than 60%.Due to high precision requirements and involvement in medical safety,the document review and quarantine processes for importing such equipment are far more complicated than those for ordinary goods.Last year,a medical device company in Northeast China ignored the radiation safety test report of color ultrasound,resulting in the goods being detained at Dalian Port for 12 days,with direct losses exceeding CNY 80,000.

Zhongshen has been specializing in medical equipment import agency for more than 20 years.In view of the characteristics of color ultrasound import at Dalian Port,it has established a "pre-audit,synchronous processing,fast clearance" service mechanism,which can help enterprises accurately align with the latest requirements of port commodity inspection and customs authorities,and avoid customs clearance delays caused by compliance issues.

## Core Processes and Compliance Points of Dalian Color Ultrasound Import Agency

### I.Document Pre-audit: Lock in Hard Thresholds of Registration Certificates and Test Reports in Advance

Color ultrasound belongs to Class III medical devices,and document requirements for its import are much higher than those for ordinary goods.The latest requirements of Dalian Port in 2026 include:

- A valid Medical Device Registration Certificate (or filing certificate) must be provided,and the product model specified on the registration certificate must be consistent with the actual goods;
- A Radiation Safety Test Report issued by a domestic accredited institution (such as the National Institute of Metrology,China) must be attached,and the test results must comply with the GBZ130-2020 standard;
- For color ultrasound imported from the European Union or the United States,corresponding CE certification or FDA certification shall be provided,and the certification shall be within the validity period;
- A copy of the Medical Device Business License shall be provided to prove that the import enterprise has the corresponding business qualification.

Zhongshen’s document department will complete the pre-audit 10-15 days before the goods arrive at the port.For example,when a hospital imported Toshiba color ultrasound from Japan,a project previously handled by Mr.Cao,the enterprise only prepared the registration certificate at first and did not pay attention to the radiation test report.After Zhongshen identified this problem in advance,it immediately assisted in connecting with domestic accredited institutions to supplement the test report,avoiding failure of declaration after the goods arrived at the port.

### II.Port Customs Declaration: Accurately Match Customs Code and Tariff Policy

The customs code of color ultrasound is **90181300**.The MFN tariff rate in 2026 is 4.5%,but preferential tariff rates are applicable for imports from countries covered by free trade agreements:

- Under the China-Japan Free Trade Agreement,the tariff rate is reduced to 3.8%;
- Under the China-EU Free Trade Agreement,the tariff rate for some models is reduced to 3.5%.

Attention shall be paid during customs declaration: the model,origin,and registration certificate number of the color ultrasound shall be clearly indicated on the customs declaration form,and shall be fully consistent with the actual goods and the registration certificate.Incorrect code filling will not only lead to overpayment of tariffs,but also may result in a request from customs for re-declaration.

Manager Hao previously handled the import of Siemens color ultrasound from Germany for a trading company in Dalian.The enterprise incorrectly filled in the customs code as 90181900,resulting in an overcalculated tariff of nearly CNY 20,000.Zhongshen’s customs declaration team checked the code in advance,helped the enterprise adjust it and completed customs clearance smoothly,saving unnecessary costs.

### III.Commodity Inspection and Quarantine: Focus on Radiation Safety and Performance Testing

The commodity inspection authority of Dalian Port takes safety and compliance as the core of quarantine requirements for color ultrasound,focusing on checking three items:

- Radiation dose testing: On-site testing of the X-ray radiation dose of the equipment is required to ensure compliance with domestic clinical use standards;
- Equipment performance calibration: Parameters such as imaging accuracy and probe sensitivity of the equipment shall be checked to be consistent with the technical indicators specified on the registration certificate;
- Chinese label review: The label shall include the registration certificate number,manufacturer information,operating instructions,radiation warning logo and other contents.

Supervisor You previously coordinated the import of GE color ultrasound from the United States for a physical examination center in Dalian.During commodity inspection,it was found that the Chinese label lacked the radiation warning logo.Zhongshen immediately contacted the printing house to urgently produce labels that meet the requirements,completed the replacement on the same day,passed the commodity inspection smoothly,and avoided cargo detention at the port.

## Practical Case: Experience of 7-day Customs Clearance for 3 Sets of German Color Ultrasound

In October 2025,a medical device company in Dalian planned to import 3 sets of Philips color ultrasound from Germany for a tertiary hospital in Northeast China.The enterprise had no previous experience in importing medical equipment,and was worried about failing the registration certificate verification and commodity inspection delays.After receiving the entrustment,Zhongshen proceeded according to the following steps:

- The document department reviewed the materials 20 days in advance,found that the FDA certification provided by the enterprise had expired for 3 months,and immediately assisted in contacting the US supplier to reissue the latest certification;
- 3 days before the goods arrived at the port,the customs declaration team prepared the customs declaration form and commodity inspection materials simultaneously,and communicated with the customs and commodity inspection authorities about the declaration time in advance;
- During commodity inspection,it assisted in arranging a third-party institution to test the radiation dose on site,completed the test and issued a report on the same day;
- After customs clearance,it assisted the enterprise in handling the domestic calibration and acceptance procedures of the equipment.

The whole process was completed in only 7 days,10 days shorter than the enterprise’s expectation,avoiding delay in the hospital’s equipment procurement and meeting the clinical use demand.

## Value of Zhongshen: Dual Guarantee of Efficiency and Compliance

With more than 20 years of experience in medical equipment import,Zhongshen controls the whole process from document pre-audit to commodity inspection and quarantine targeting the unique requirements for color ultrasound import at Dalian Port:

- Pre-audit documents in advance to avoid problems such as expired registration certificates and missing test reports;
- Promote customs declaration and commodity inspection simultaneously to shorten customs clearance time;
- Cooperate with domestic accredited testing institutions to ensure compliance of radiation testing;
- Assist in handling the domestic calibration and acceptance of equipment to ensure normal operation of the equipment.

A chain physical examination institution in Dalian,previously managed by General Manager You,has imported color ultrasound through Zhongshen’s agency.There has been no customs clearance delay or compliance problem in the past 3 years.The equipment can be put into use quickly after arrival,which improves the service efficiency of the physical examination center.

For medical device enterprises or hospitals in Dalian,choosing a professional color ultrasound import agency can not only save time and cost,but also effectively avoid compliance risks and ensure the timely put into use of equipment.
