Import Tips
• Provide gas flush system schematics to customs for proper subheading verification under vacuum/gas provisions
• Label equipment clearly as 'food-grade' to meet import hygiene standards; pitfall is reclassification without proof
• Obtain prior notice filings for machinery over certain weights to expedite FDA clearance
