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
