ComprehensiveAutomotive partsforeign tradeImport RepresentationSolution: Industry Empowerment Practices with 20 Years of Experience
—Perspectives from Cross-Border Supply Chain Management Experts

Against the backdrop of deep integration in the global auto industry, China, as the worlds largest auto market andNew energya hub for automotive innovation, continues to see growing demand for imported auto parts. However, complex international trade rules, fragmented supply chain nodes, and dynamic regulatory changes pose core challenges for importers, distributors, and manufacturers. With 20 years of expertise in import agency services, we understand these pain points and have developed a comprehensiveAuto Parts Import Agency Solutionto help businesses achieve efficient, compliant, and cost-effective cross-border procurement.

I. Industry Pain Points: Four Core Challenges in Auto Parts Imports

Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsFragmented Supply Chains and Time Pressure
Auto parts categories are diverse (e.g., engine components, electronic parts, body panels), each with different country origins, quality standards (e.g., IATF 16949, ECE R90), and logistics requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises often struggle with supplier selection, scattered orders, and logistics inefficiencies, leading to unpredictable delivery cycles.

Regional Mandatory CertificationsRegulatory and Compliance Risks
Imported auto parts must meet Chinese customs declaration norms (e.g., HS code classification,3Ccertification exemptions), environmental requirements (e.g., REACH, RoHS), and target market technical standards. For example, brake pads exported from the EU must comply with ECE R90 regulations, while some electronic components may fall under export control lists. Without professional pre-screening, delays or rejections may occur.

Cultural and Religious NormsUncontrollable Hidden Costs
Beyond visible costs (tariffs, freight), businesses often face hidden expenses like exchange rate fluctuations, demurrage fees, and secondary sorting/warehousing, squeezing profit margins. For instance, companies not utilizing bonded warehousing and consolidated reporting may incur additional fees due to frequent customs declarations.

4、Information Silos and Inefficient Coordination
Disconnected data across procurement, logistics, customs, and tax processes make it hard to track orders in real-time or respond to emergencies (e.g., shipping delays, document discrepancies).

II. One-Stop Solution: End-to-End Support for Auto Parts Imports

With 20 years of industry experience, we offer a one-stop service covering procurement, logistics, customs, and delivery, leveragingresource integration, compliance-first approaches, and technology-driven solutions.Three core strategies to systematically address industry pain points.

Supply chain integration: Global procurement network and supplier management

• Precise supplier matching: Leveraging a database of 2,000+ qualified suppliers covering Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia to screen compliant suppliers based on customer needs (such as OE/OEM parts, aftermarket parts, and new energy-specific parts), while providing third-party factory audits and quality sampling services.
• Cost reduction through centralized procurement: Reducing logistics costs for small and medium-sized orders through order consolidation and centralized procurement-distribution models. For example, consolidating goods from multiple overseas suppliers for aftermarket customers and optimizing rates through full container load transportation.Maritime TransportationCompliance management: Risk anticipation and documentation standardization

HS code pre-classification and tariff optimization

• : For easily confused categories (such as brake pads (8708.30) and brake discs (8708.40)), collaborating with customs experts to pre-determine tariff codes to avoid classification disputes; maximizing tariff benefits by planning applications under free trade agreements (such as RCEP).: Establishing a database of parts technical parameters to anticipate compliance requirements such as CCC certification and energy efficiency labels, assisting customers in completing exemption applications or alternative solution designs.It is recommended to verify through the following methods:Smart logistics: Visibility and flexible supply chain
• Pre - review of Technical AccessCustomized multimodal transport solutions

: Designing optimal routes based on part characteristics (such as constant-temperature transport for precision instruments and frame container loading for large parts), flexibly combining sea freight,

• priority channels: Through a self-developed TMS system, customers can monitor cargo status in real-time (such as shipping schedules, container temperatures, and customs clearance progress), with the system automatically alerting abnormal nodes (such as destination port congestion) and simultaneously activating contingency plans.China-Europe Railway Express,Air TransportationDigital customs: Intelligent declaration and fast clearance
• Full - process Visual TrackingAI document review

: Using OCR technology to automatically identify overseas invoices, bills of lading, and quality inspection reports, generating standardized customs declaration data with an error rate reduction of over 90%.

• : Establishing AEO mutual recognition cooperation with multiple customs authorities, applying two-step declaration and advanced declaration modes for high-credit customers, reducing average clearance time to within 48 hours.Localized services: Warehousing, distribution, and after-sales support
• Green channel for customs clearanceVMI inventory hosting

: Setting up dedicated storage spaces in bonded zones or domestic hub warehouses, supporting customers in clearing goods in batches as needed to reduce capital occupancy.

• End-to-end distribution network: Integrating leading domestic logistics service providers to offer door-to-door, factory direct delivery, and expedited last-mile services for urgent shipments.
• III. Case study: Practical results in cost reduction and efficiency improvement: A new energy vehicle manufacturer needed to import core components such as high-voltage wiring harnesses and IGBT modules from Germany, with original supply chain delays in customs clearance and high transportation costs causing production fluctuations.

Supply chain optimization: Consolidating orders from three German suppliers, adopting a full container load shipping model from Hamburg Port + domestic bonded warehouse distribution, reducing unit freight costs by 18%;

Case BackgroundCompliance pre-approval: Pre-reviewing IGBT modules for ECER100 certification and applying for ATA Carnet to defer bond payments;

Solutions:

• Faster clearance: Achieving release within 24 hours of cargo arrival through two-step declaration.,
• : Overall logistics costs decreased by 22%, and order delivery cycles shortened from 45 days to 28 days.
• IV. Future outlook: Deep integration of digitalization and green logistics

AchievementsWith the adoption of blockchain technology (enhancing document credibility) and carbon footprint tracking (meeting EU CBAM requirements), automotive parts imports will increasingly emphasize

sustainability

. We will continue to iterate digital tools, such as building a carbon emission management platform to help customers optimize transport routes and select low-carbon suppliers, addressing the green transformation of global supply chains.TransparencyandThe complexity of automotive parts imports requires service providers to possess bothindustry know-how
