The Global Journey of a Metallurgical Giant

In the 2025 expansion project of Indonesia's Dexin Steel, the Danieli QSP thin slab casting and rolling equipment set a new industry record with a rolling accuracy of 0.18 mm. The export of such precision metallurgical equipment involves28 core patented technologiesand17 types of special materialscontrols, is preciselyforeign tradethe high ground of agency service value.

Danieli?Equipment Export?'s three major technical hurdles

• Challenges in Declaring Technical Parameters
  • Electromechanical modules must be split into 13 HS codes for declaration
  • Hydraulic systems require separate declaration with pressure vessel qualifications
• Special transportation requirements
  • Approval of transport permits for rolling mills with diameters exceeding 4.2 meters
  • Temperature control standards for shockproof packaging of precision components
• Conflicts in multinational certification systems
  • Conversion between EU CE certification and US ASME standards
  • Localization and adaptation for Southeast Asian countries' Special Inspection Institutes (SISI)

The Differentiated Service Matrix of a Professional Agent

Compared to an in-house export team, a professional agent shows advantages in three dimensions:

• Technical documentation system
  • Preparing welding procedure documents that comply with ISO/TR 20172
  • Creating technical documentation for IECEx explosion-proof certification
• Customs Clearance Solutions
  • Appeals under the WTO Harmonized System for pre-classification disputes
  • Alternative supply solutions to deal with US BIS reviews
• Risk Control Model
  • Optimizing with the DAP term from INCOTERMS? 2025
  • Establishing a warning system for Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT)

Key Points for Upgrading the 2025 Customs Clearance Strategy

According to the latest WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), professional agency services are achieving three major breakthroughs:

• The application period for pre-ruling has been shortened from 90 days to 28 days
• The inspection rate for AEO-certified enterprises has dropped to 1.2%
• Electronic declaration of technical data covers 92% of HS chapters

Success Story: Insights from the Hoa Phat Steel Project in Vietnam

An agency company provided full-process services for the export of a Danieli H-beam rolling mill:

• Completing Myanmar's MOST market access certification in 40 days
• Reducing tariffs by 14.7% through the RCEP rules of origin accumulation
• Using an ATA Carnet for temporary entry of commissioning equipment

The golden rule for selecting an agent

• Verifying if they have a compliance team certified by TüV SüD
• Confirming that the overseas customs clearance network covers metallurgical equipment distribution ports
• Evaluating actual handling cases of US EAR regulations
