Import Tips

• Submit engineering drawings or OEM specs proving printer-specific design; pitfalls include generic 'rubber blanket' declarations leading to chapter 40

• Label with precise surface hardness (e.g

• Shore A 75) and fabric type; ensure compliance with country-of-origin rules for layered constructions

• Use protective cylinders for shipping to prevent blanket distortion; declare as 'printer's blanket' explicitly on commercial invoice
