Import Tips
• Include detailed pattern engravings and compatibility certificates for textile embossing machines to support classification
• Declare exact dimensions and material (e.g
• chrome-plated steel) to prevent undervaluation claims at entry
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as printing rollers (8443 parts) by emphasizing rolling, not ink transfer function
