I. Industry Challenges in Automotive Parts Importation

1.Technical Barriers and Certification Requirements
Automotive parts involve stringent international certification systems (such as IATF 16949, ECE certification), and customs authorities in different countries have technical discrepancies in HS code classification. Our established global certification database can accurately match the access regulations of major markets, including the EU, North America, Japan, and South Korea.

2.Logistics timeliness management
Precision components have special requirements for transportation conditions (shockproof/temperature-controlled), necessitating a tiered logistics solution. We have established our own overseas warehouse network to achieve a 48-hour emergency replenishment response in Europe and a 24-hour response in Southeast Asia.

3.Dynamic Tariff Policy Response
ForNew energyChanges in policies such as the 5% tariff reduction on auto parts and the provisional tax rate for ECU modules have prompted us to develop an intelligent tariff calculation system. This system updates the tax rate database for 37 countries in real time, helping clients avoid tariff losses exceeding 12 million yuan in 2023.
