Import Tips
• Provide engraving pattern specifications and machine compatibility docs to prove it's exclusively for textile printing equipment
• Declare exact material (e.g
• nickel-plated copper) accurately, as alloys may require metallurgical certificates
• Avoid bundling with non-textile cylinders to prevent reclassification; ship as dedicated sets with invoices
