Import Tips
• For food or pharma use, ensure FDA-compliant materials (e.g
• stainless steel 304/316) and provide hygiene certifications
• Declare exact throughput capacity and length to confirm classification away from discrete-action lifts
• Avoid pitfalls by labeling as 'continuous-action' in invoices to prevent reclassification as pumps under 8413
