Special challenges in importing components for the nonwoven fabric industry

As a hidden champion in global nonwoven fabric equipment, German Dilo Maschinenfabriks annual demand for needle loom core components exceeds 120,000 pieces. The latest revisedIndustrial equipment component export control regulations in the EU for 2025New requirements have been introduced for the customs declaration of Dilos specialized yarn guide wheels and needle boards:

• Precision components require material composition analysis reports
• Electromechanical components must be accompanied by CE certification extension documents
• Plant fiber residue in packaging materials must not exceed 0.3%

Typical error cases in self-managed imports

A Jiangsu nonwoven fabric enterprise importing drive shafts for Dilos third-generation cross-lapper in March 2025 hadHS code misclassificationResulting in a 300,000 RMB bond being withheld. Our analysis revealed three root causes of their errors:

• Failure to distinguish between equipment accessories and maintenance tools for customs classification
  • Specialized disassembly tools require separate declaration
  • Calibration instruments fall under statutory inspection catalog
• Neglecting Dilos unique rules of origin marking
  • Products from Baden-Württemberg factory require additional special markings
  • Subcontractor components must be separately labeled with origin
• Transport plan failed to account for precision component characteristics
  • Needle modules require constant temperature and humidity during transport
  • Servo motor assemblies are prohibited from stacked storage

Decomposition of the practical operation process

Taking the import of Dilos fifth-generation carding machine cylinder wires as an example, key control points for professional agencies:

• Technical parameter conversion: Transforming German technical manuals into customs-approved product descriptions
• Compliance document preparation: Coordinating with Dilo factory to issue compatibility certificates compliant with Chinese GB standards
• Special declaration processing: Applying for tariff guarantee insurance for high-value accessories
• Arrival acceptance criteria: Developing an acceptance procedure containing 12 inspection indicators

Responding to new industry trends in 2025

Based on the policy changes weve monitored, we recommend focusing on:

• EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) extending to mechanical accessories
• Impact of the German Supply Chain Act on small and medium-sized enterprises
• China-Europe Railway ExpressPriority loading catalog adjustments
