Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the fan duct as a part of an additive manufacturing machine under 8485.90.90
• If the duct is 3D printed, ensure the material and design are documented to show it is specifically for FDM printers
• Consider whether the duct is sold with a fan, which might change classification
