Import Tips
• Ensure the diffuser washer is classified as machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material, as it is integral to the pulping process
• Verify that it is not a part of general use (e.g
• pumps) which would be classified elsewhere
• Prepare technical documentation describing its function in pulp washing to support the tariff classification
