Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications match 'carding machines' per Chapter 84 notes; provide technical brochures showing fiber separation function
• Include CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for textile machinery to avoid customs holds
• Declare exact fiber type compatibility (e.g
• cotton) in entry docs to prevent misclassification as general prep machines
