Medical EquipmentNew Solutions to the Funding Dilemma in Imports

After the implementation of the new 2025 version of the "Customs Tax Collection and Management Reform Plan," the credit guarantee model of professional agencies has fundamentally transformed the import of medical devices. Taking a red light therapy device with a wavelength of 630nm as an example, for a single unit with an import value of approximately $120,000, the traditional model requires freezing funds up to 30% of the value, while the new agency model enables a zero-deposit operation throughout the entire process.

The Three Core Principles of the No-Deposit Agency Model

Principle 1: Customs Credit Limit Sharing Mechanism

• AEO Advanced Certified Enterprise Shared Credit Line
• The maximum guarantee amount for a single ticket can reach up to 5 million yuan.
• Annual revolving usage does not occupy the enterprise's credit line.

Principle 2: Innovative Application of Tariff Guarantee Insurance

• The insurance cost is only 0.3%-0.8% of traditional margin.
• The frozen funds will be released immediately upon the policy taking effect.
• Support installment payment of insurance premiums

Principle 3: Post-Settlement of Import Process Fees

• Customs duties/VAT deferred for payment within 45 days after release.
• Logistics costs are included in payment term management.
• Document handling fees will be settled based on actual occurrences.

The Five Key Steps of the Operational Process

• Qualification pre-review stage
  • Medical Device Registration Certificate Filing Verification
  • Confirmation of Special Regulatory Requirements for Place of Origin
• Customs clearance solution design
  • Accurate HS Code Classification (9018.1290)
  • Intelligent Matching of Regulatory Certificates (CFDA/NMPA)
• Credit Guarantee Initiation
  • The electronic guarantee takes effect immediately.
  • The insurance coverage takes effect immediately.
• Physical supervision process
  • Electronic Transmission of Radiation Safety Certificates
  • Online verification of equipment parameters
• Expense settlement phase
  • Automatically generate tax breakdown table
  • Multi-currency payment channel support

The Five-Dimensional Evaluation Method for Agency Selection

The special requirements for medical device imports necessitate that the agency must possess:

• Customs AEO Advanced Certification qualification
• Medical device import specialized qualification
• At least 5 successful operation cases
• Complete risk compensation mechanism
• A real-time updated regulatory database

A dual safeguard system for risk prevention and control

Pre - event prevention and control:Through a triple verification mechanism consisting of pre-classification review of goods, pre-confirmation of origin, and compliance review of technical parameters, the declaration error rate is controlled below 0.2%.

Post-event relief:Establish a risk reserve pool of 2 million yuan to provide advance payment services for potential late declaration fees, late payment penalties, etc., ensuring the security of the enterprise's capital chain.
