Import Tips

• Submit engineering drawings highlighting vacuum chamber and gas valve exclusivity to confirm no filling capability

• For EU imports, leverage tariff preferences with origin certificates; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian models

• Avoid pitfall of incomplete HTS description—specify 'capping/lidding/sealing only' in commercial invoice
