Core Process of Lianyungang Equipment Import Customs Declaration and 2026 Regulatory Adjustments

In 2026,the total value of imported equipment at Lianyungang Port exceeded 320 billion RMB,representing a 42% year-on-year increase.Imported categories are mainly concentrated in three segments: new energy production equipment,intelligent manufacturing machine tools,and semiconductor packaging equipment.This year,Lianyungang Customs has adjusted regulatory rules for equipment goods,focusing on verifying the consistency of HS code classification,the composition of dutiable value,and the compliance of qualifications for permit-required goods.The average customs clearance time for ordinary new equipment has been shortened to 3 working days,and that for used equipment to 7 working days,on the premise that all documents are verified correctly in advance.

I once handled the import business of polycrystalline silicon slicers for a photovoltaic manufacturing enterprise in Lianyungang.When the customer declared on their own for the first time,they omitted the declaration elements of the brand and model of the core cutting component,which directly triggered customs control inspection,resulting in 7 days of port detention and 120,000 RMB of demurrage and storage fees.Later,the customer entrusted us to handle the subsequent 3 batches of equipment of the same model.We completed the pre-commodity inspection 3 days in advance,confirmed the HS code declaration logic with the Classification Division of Lianyungang Customs,and checked all declaration elements one by one against the physical goods.All 3 batches of equipment were cleared within 48 hours without any extra costs.

High-frequency Risks and Pitfall Avoidance Guide for Lianyungang Equipment Import Customs Declaration

Many enterprises importing equipment through Lianyungang Port for the first time tend to ignore the special regulatory requirements of the port and encounter unnecessary risk points.We have sorted out the three most common problems and corresponding solutions:

• Incorrect HS Code Classification: In 2026,Customs updated the notes for 27 equipment-related HS codes,especially the classification boundaries for new energy and semiconductor related equipment have been adjusted.Classification deviation may lead to extra tariffs up to 35%,and even trigger anti-smuggling verification.Our operation standard is to complete pre-classification 3 days in advance,and communicate and confirm with the Classification Division of Lianyungang Customs in advance when necessary,to avoid subsequent document amendment delays.
• Incomplete Price Verification Documents: Lianyungang Customs this year focuses on verifying whether the overseas freight,insurance premium and patent royalty under EXW/FOB terms are included in the dutiable value for equipment goods.Many enterprises fail to declare the additional fees,which leads to the rejection of price verification by customs,with a maximum delay of 15 days.We will sort out all fee vouchers related to trade in advance,submit complete price descriptions at one time,and more than 90% of customs declarations can pass the verification at the first attempt.
• Document Exchange Fee Trap: Many designated freight forwarders charge high document exchange fees and operation fees,which are 2-3 times higher than the market average,and will not be clearly notified in advance.They require payment before allowing document exchange after the goods arrive at the port.We have stable cooperative manifest agents at Lianyungang Port,all fees are disclosed in advance,no hidden costs exist,and we can help enterprises save 20% of pre-port miscellaneous fees on average.
