Import Tips
• Verify machine is classified as 'new' with manufacturer certification to avoid used machinery rates under 8439.20.0050
• Provide detailed technical specs and end-use declaration to confirm it fits paper making, not pulp processing (8481.80)
• Ensure compliance with EPA emissions standards for drying sections if destined for US mills
