Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's declaration specifying compatibility with cellulosic pulp or paperboard machines to meet import requirements
• Check for proper labeling of wetted parts materials; acidic pulp environments require specific alloys to prevent premature failure
• Avoid common error of importing without proof of end-use, leading to higher general duty rates
