Import Tips
• Ensure UV curing system documentation to comply with FDA regulations for food-contact label printing
• Label units clearly as 'flexographic printing press' to prevent customs reclassification as multi-function equipment
• Prepare for electrical certification (UL or equivalent) as flexo presses often require 3-phase power compliance
