Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications match 'opening, filling, and closing boxes' to avoid reclassification under general packing machinery
• Provide detailed technical drawings and end-use certificates to confirm it's not for bulk containers
• Ensure CE marking and FDA validation docs for pharma applications to speed customs clearance
