Import Tips

Obtain CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for European-sourced presses to meet OSHA import standards

Document substrate compatibility (e.g

PE, PP films) to support flexographic classification versus other printing types

Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from certain Asian manufacturers previously investigated for printing machinery
