Import Tips
• Ensure roller count and pressure specifications are documented to distinguish from paper calenders
• Provide fabric compatibility certificates to prevent misclassification as general rolling equipment
• Watch for partial assembly imports—complete machines avoid parts tariffs but require proof of functionality
