Germany is one of Europe’s largest importers of mechanical components, with steady demand for products meeting Chinese national standards (GB) and German quality requirements. However, many Chinese exporters face hurdles like strict CE certification, complex customs paperwork, and delayed tax refunds. Li女士, a Jiangsu-based exporter of GB-compliant mechanical parts, once struggled with these issues until she partnered with Shanghai Zhongshitong Foreign Trade Agency.

Zhongshitong’s experts first verify if products meet both GB and German DIN standards. They then assist in preparing TDF, including product specs, test reports, and conformity declarations.Key Challenge Solved: Incorrect CE docs leading to customs rejectionLi女士’s initial CE application was rejected due to missing test data. Zhongshitong’s team collected the required info and revised docs within 48 hours, ensuring compliance with German rules.
