Import Tips
• Provide engineering specs showing tooth profile matches standard excavator buckets to confirm principal use
• Include wear material composition (e.g
• carbide content) in invoices for accurate valuation and duty assessment
• Avoid bulk shipments without model-specific markings to prevent reclassification as scrap metal
