Import Tips
• Provide evidence of counting functionality via demo videos or brochures, as customs may scrutinize for general vs specialized weighing
• Ensure IP-rated enclosure details are noted for dusty/moist environments, aiding justification under weighing machinery
• Pre-clear with FDA registration if marketed for pharmaceutical counting to avoid dual regulatory hurdles
