As a senior consultant who has been deeply engaged inforeign tradeservice expert with 20 years of industry experience, this article will systematically analyze the core points of clothingExport RepresentationWith 20 years of experience in the industry, I have witnessed the transformation of China's automotive aftermarket from reliance on domestic production to global procurement. As a core component of the braking system, the import procurement of brake valves involves multi-dimensional professional operations such as technical compliance, supply chain optimization, and risk management. This article will systematically analyze brake valves by combining practical case studies.Import Representationkey aspects.

1. Industry Status and Procurement Pain Points

1.Market data: In 2023, the market size of imported hydraulic brake valve components in China reached $2.8 billion, with high-end commercial vehicles and...New energyAutomotive partsExceeds 60%, and they need to provide at least 3 customs clearance cases for frame - type products.
2.Procurement pain points:

• Leading brands such as Germany's TRW and America's Bendix have regional protection policies in place.
