Import Tips
• Provide CAD drawings showing integration with rinsing machinery to substantiate classification as a dedicated part
• Ensure nozzles meet sanitary standards (e.g
• 3A certification) and include test reports to avoid holds at import
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare based on specialized manufacturing costs, not commodity stainless steel
