Import Tips

Provide end-use certification proving the pump will be used exclusively with cellulosic pulp, paper, or paperboard machines to qualify for this HTS

Ensure documentation includes technical specs showing centrifugal design and suitability for stock handling to avoid reclassification as general pumps

Verify abrasion-resistant materials comply with US pulp industry standards; common pitfall is missing proof of paper mill destination
