Global petrochemicalEquipment ImportsAnalysis of the New Situation

According to the latest data from the General Administration of Customs in 2025, the import volume of core equipment such as refining reactors and catalytic cracking units has increased by 18.7% year-on-year. Driven by the dual-circulation policy, the procurement of petrochemical equipment by domestic enterprises showsLarge-scale, integrated, and precision-orientedThree key characteristics: the unit price of a single piece of equipment generally exceeds $5 million.

Key Milestones in the Entire Process of Equipment Importation

• Preliminary qualification preparation phase
  • Apply for the Import License of Mechanical and Electrical Products (2025 New Edition Coding Rules)
  • Pressure vessel equipment must obtain the TSG Special Equipment Manufacturing License.
• International Transport Technical Specifications
  • Over - limit EquipmentMaritime TransportationLashing Plan Certification (DNV/GL Standard)
  • Explosion-proof electrical components must pass IECEx international certification.
• Key Points of Customs Clearance Practical Operations
  • The old equipment needs to undergo pre-shipment inspection (CCIC latest process).
  • It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Verification of the Matching Between the Description and HS Code

In-depth Analysis of Typical Risk Cases

A certain refining and petrochemical enterprise, when importing a hydrogenation reactor from Germany in 2025, due to...Technical parameter omissionResulted in a 17-day port congestion:

• The actual working pressure exceeds the declared value by 3.2 MPa.
• Undisclosed radioactive materials with built-in detection instruments
• The flange connection standard does not comply with the latest requirements of GB/T 9119.

Professional agency companies implement3D reverse modelingQuickly complete technical documentation and coordinate with third-party organizations forOn-site pressure test, ultimately avoiding the risk of equipment being returned.
