Import Tips

• Submit technical drawings showing paperboard conveyor path to confirm classification away from general material dryers

• Label equipment clearly as 'industrial paperboard dryer' to prevent misclassification as domestic laundry equipment

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for pressure vessels if dryer includes steam systems, required for many import markets
