Import Tips

Verify the scale's maximum capacity does not exceed 30 kg and confirm it lacks computing functions like price computation to avoid reclassification

Include NIST Handbook 44 compliance certification if destined for US retail use, and provide calibration certificates in import documentation

Label scales clearly with capacity, accuracy class, and 'not legal for trade' if not certified, to prevent customs holds
