Import Tips
• Certify newspaper end-use with buyer contracts to support specific classification over general offset presses
• Detail cylinder diameters and web width in documentation; reclassification risk if specs ambiguous
• Prepare for voltage conversion compliance; common pitfall is ignoring electrical safety certifications
