Specific connotations, advantages and disadvantages, and considerations of exporting complete machines and parts:

I. Whole machine exports

1. Specific content

A complete export is the direct export of a fully assembled product to a target market, such as the export of complete mechanical equipment, household appliances or automobiles.

2. Advantages and disadvantages analysis

Advantages:

• High added value: Complete products usually have larger profit margins;

• After-sales service: It can directly control the after-sales process and enhance customer satisfaction.

Disadvantages:

• Higher tariffs: Higher tariff rates are usually applied to whole products;
• High logistics costs: Large, heavy and expensive to transport;
• Complex certification: Need to meet the whole machine certification requirements of the target market (e.g. CE, FCC).

3. Issues that need attention

• Certification Compliance: Ensure that the whole product passes the mandatory certification of the target market (e.g. EU CE certification, US FCC certification);
• Packaging and Shipping: Ensure that the whole product passes the mandatory certification of the target market (e.g. EU CE certification, US FCC certification);

• Strong dependence: Need to work closely with OEMs in target markets;
• Weak brand effect: It is difficult to build a direct end-to-end brand image.

3. Issues that need attention

• Technical specifications match: Ensure that parts meet the technical requirements of the OEMs in the target market;
• Supply Chain Management: Establishing long-term cooperative relationships with machine manufacturers to ensure order stability;
• Protection of intellectual property: Avoid infringement of patents or trademarks in the target market.

III. Comparison of exports of complete machines and exports of spare parts

IV. Selection Strategies and Recommendations

Choose by target market:

• developed country(e.g., Europe and the United States): Prioritize the export of whole machines and leverage brand premiums;
