Shiyan Customs helps enterprises solve cross-border trade problems and promotes high-quality development of foreign trade

      Recently, Shiyan Customs has focused on the actual needs of enterprises and taken the initiative to provide advanced services. In response to the questions raised by Hubei Senyao Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. regarding the export standards of KD (loose parts assembly) for automobiles and the inspection process for supermarket products, targeted policy interpretation and business guidance have been carried out, effectively breaking through cross-border trade barriers for enterprises and injecting strong impetus into the stability and quality improvement of local foreign trade.

     Accurately focusing on the pain points of automotive KD exports and strengthening full chain guidance In view of the characteristics that Hubei Senyao Automobile KD parts export is mainly oriented to countries along the "the Belt and Road", Southeast Asia and the Americas, Shiyan Customs provides professional guidance services around the three core links of target market access, tariff policy and logistics specification.

   （1） Clarify market access standards

In response to technical barriers in markets such as Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Ethiopia, the customs system interprets requirements such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) standards, Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) certification, and SABER electronic certification system. It focuses on the 82 technical testing indicators implemented by Saudi Arabia in August 2025, including key parameters such as air conditioning system performance in high-temperature environments and dust-proof design of components, to guide enterprises in optimizing product processes and improving component compatibility through technologies such as nano ceramic coatings, ensuring compliance with importing country standards.

   （2） Interpretation of tariff preferential policies

Based on the tariff reduction and exemption policies in the Southeast Asian market, clarify the specific applicable conditions for Myanmar and other countries to reduce tariffs on CKD and SKD parts from 5% and 7.5% to 3% and 5% respectively from June 2024 to May 2025; For the US market, provide a detailed explanation of the tariff rules under Article 232 of 2025 and the rules of origin under the USMCA (United States Mexico Canada Agreement), guiding companies to optimize their supply chain layout and use Regional Value Content (RVC) policies to reduce tariff costs.

   （3） Standardize logistics packaging requirements

Based on the experience of operating cross-border container trains in northwest Hubei, it is recommended that enterprises adopt the "railway+sea freight" multimodal transport mode to enhance transportation stability and safety; At the same time, it is emphasized that wooden packaging must comply with the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) labeling standards to avoid destination port delays caused by packaging non-compliance and ensure smooth logistics links.
