Import Tips
• Verify machine pressure rating and abrasive media compatibility to meet OSHA safety standards and avoid reclassification as parts
• Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to confirm it's a complete sand blasting machine, not a component
• Check for EPA dust emission compliance; common pitfall is insufficient filtration leading to customs holds
