The Current Situation of the Import Market for Dutch VR Equipment Production Lines

In 2025, the Dutch VR manufacturing industry is expected to achieve a market size of 1.23 billion euros, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.8%. Against this background, the demand of Chinese enterprises for importing industrial - grade VR equipment production lines continues to grow. Such equipment usually includes sensitive components such as precision optical components and motion - tracking systems. The HS codes for customs declaration mostly involve 9013.20 (laser equipment) and 9031.49 (automatic regulating controllers) and other special categories.

ChooseImport RepresentationThe Five Key Elements

Element 1: The Degree of Industry Experience Accumulation

• The Depth of Understanding of VR Equipment Technical Parameters: An excellent agent should be able to accurately identify the radiation standards of the eye - tracking module and the electromagnetic compatibility parameters of the positioning system.
• Tracking the Update of Dutch Export Policies: Implemented from 2025EU 2025/478Regulatory requirements state that VR production equipment should be equipped with an energy consumption monitoring module.
• Database of Successful Cases: It is recommended to require the agent to provide the same type of equipment in the past three years.Import ClearanceFiles (Desensitized)

Element 2: Practical Ability in Customs Operations

• Verification of Classification Accuracy: A certain enterprise once misclassified a 6 - axis motion platform into 8479.89, resulting in the payment of a 23% tariff difference
• Feasibility of Tariff Planning: Utilize theTariff Exemption Clause for Scientific Research Equipment in the China - Netherlands BIT AgreementCan save 7 - 15% of the cost
• Fast Customs Clearance Guarantee System: Require the agent to promise that the time from declaration to release does not exceed 72 hours (in non - inspection cases)

Element 3: Logistics Solution Customization Ability

• Special Equipment Transportation Plan: Including constant temperature and humidity containers, packaging standards with shock resistance level reaching ISTA 3A
• Customs Clearance Time Control Nodes:
  • Obtaining Priority Berthing Rights at Port of Rotterdam
  • Use of Pre - declaration Channel for Electromechanical Products
• Cost Control Model:Maritime TransportationCalculation of the critical point between LCL and FCL (usually with 18m3 as the boundary)

Element 4: Completeness of Compliance Qualifications

• Mandatory Certifications: Including but not limited to ISO 17712 container seal certification, AEO advanced certification
• Professional Qualification Matrix:
  • Hazardous Goods Transportation Qualification (Involving Lithium - battery Components of Equipment)
  • Dual - use Items Business License (Some Optical Components are Regulated)

Element 5: After - sales Response Mechanism

• Emergency Handling SOPRequirement: The agent shall promise in writing to resolve the disputes over declaration elements within 48 hours.
• Technical Document Support: CE Certification Technical Documents, EquipmentIt is recommended to verify through the following methods:Compliance Audit of Ming
• Risk Early - Warning SystemThe Netherlands to be implemented in Q2 of 2025Anti - dumping Investigation Early Warning for Precision Instruments

Key points of the tariff policy changes in 2025

According to the latest trade agreement between China and Europe, there is a structural adjustment in the tariffs of core components of the VR production line:

• The tariff of laser projection modules is reduced from 5.7% to 3.2%
• The benchmark tariff rate of industrial - grade sensors remains at 8%
• Assemblyequipment. For example, Indonesia has the SNI certification, Thailand has the TISI certification, and the Philippines has the BPS certification. It is necessary to confirm in advance the equipment voltage (such as 380V/50Hz in Thailand), the compatibility of the CE certification, and the proof of environmentally friendly materials.Can apply forSpecial Credit for Technological Transformation

When choosing a professional agency, be sure to require it to provide interpretation services that includeThe 2025 Edition of the Netherlands Customs Tariff Manual,Import White List of Electromechanical Productsand other latest documents. It is recommended to verify the actual operation level of the agency through a simulated declaration test. You can require it to conduct simulated classification of the prototype and issue a risk assessment report.
