In recent years, as competition has intensified, more and more companies are accelerating their pace of going global, aiming to establish stable customer channels and brand influence overseas. However, foreign trade exports are never achieved overnight. Whether it is certification standards, tax rebate policies, or the development of customer channels, all require systematic planning and professional execution.
This article outlines three key aspects of current export practices to help companies avoid unnecessary detours.
Different countries and regions have varying regulations regarding the quality, safety, and environmental aspects of abrasive and grinding products. Understanding and preparing for certification in advance is the first step to smooth customs clearance and market entry.
ISO 9001: Quality management system, proving the company’s ability to consistently produce high-quality products.
ISO 14001: Environmental management system, helping companies access markets with stringent environmental requirements, such as Europe.
Mandatory certification for entering the European market, covering product safety, health, and environmental requirements.
Certain products such as cutting discs and grinding wheels require special attention to specific standards, e.g., EN 12413.
Issued by Underwriters Laboratories, certifying that products meet US safety standards, especially relevant for abrasive or polishing products with electrical components.
RoHS Directive: Restricts the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in products.
REACH Regulation: For abrasives containing chemical components, requires registration and declaration of chemical content to avoid entry bans due to non-compliance.
JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), CCC (China Compulsory Certification), etc., should also be prepared for according to the target market.
Tip: Before exporting, it is recommended to entrust a third-party professional agency to conduct compliance audits and gradually establish a product compliance file based on the standards of the destination country.
As an important means to improve export profitability, export tax rebate policies directly affect pricing strategies and international competitiveness. In 2025, under the policy orientation of “precise regulation and support for advanced industries,” China’s export tax rebate policies have shown new characteristics that abrasive and grinding tool companies should closely monitor:
Suggested Strategies:
Optimize product mix to increase added value;
Establish a professional documentation team to enhance compliance review capabilities;
Track local export rebate policy updates and actively apply for regional support funds;
Introduce ERP + rebate management systems to automatically monitor compliance throughout the export process.
Building a stable overseas sales network is the key to sustaining exports for abrasive and grinding tool companies. In 2025, the global channel landscape is shifting, and the following approaches deserve attention:
Exporting abrasives and grinding tools is far more than “just selling products overseas.”
Compliance certifications are your entry pass, tax rebates are your profit safeguard, and customers and channels are the key resources for success.
The global market in 2025 is full of uncertainties, but opportunities favor the well-prepared.
Only with a comprehensive approach — aligning policy, product, and market strategies — can companies secure their foothold and maintain momentum in global competition.
