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
