Importing used machinery is a more challenging and complex project compared to new equipment. The entire process involves professional tasks such as customs classification, pre-shipment inspection and quarantine, valuation verification, certification supervision, age assessment, and commodity inspection and removal. It also includes modifications for non-standard equipment and shipping of oversized machinery. This series of operations is interconnected and must be error-free, hence importing used machinery requires an absolutely professional import team to complete the entire process.
