Import Tips & Compliance

Verify press width exceeds single-width standards (typically over 60 inches) and confirm reel-fed offset configuration to match 8443.11.10.00 classification

Provide detailed technical specs, including printing units and cylinder types, in commercial invoices to avoid reclassification to general offset machinery

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfalls include incomplete assembly documentation leading to parts classification
