Import Tips
• Classify the air dryer under 8422.20.00 as machinery for drying containers, and ensure it is not described as a general-purpose dryer
• If the dryer is imported separately from a washing machine, it still qualifies under this item
• Confirm that the dryer is not classified under heading 84.79 as other machinery if it lacks container-specific design
