Import Tips
• Verify crane specifications match 'tower crane' definition with fixed vertical mast to avoid misclassification as mobile cranes
• Obtain manufacturer's declaration confirming it's not a ship derrick or cable crane; include CE marking for EU-origin models
• Prepare detailed engineering drawings and load charts for customs valuation and safety compliance inspections
