Import Tips
• Document the drying mechanism clearly, as through-air dryers with vacuum boxes may be scrutinized for whether they are dryers or part of a paper-making machine
• If the dryer is designed to be integrated into a linerboard production line, consider whether it is presented as a complete machine or a separate unit
• Verify the tariff classification with a ruling request if the dryer includes both drying and conveying functions
