Import Tips
• Verify explosion-proof certifications (ATEX or MSHA) are documented for U.S. mine safety compliance
• Include detailed engineering specs proving underground design to avoid reclassification as general conveyors
• Check for country-of-origin rules as many mining components qualify for GSP duty reductions
