Import Tips
• Verify machine capacity and specifications match HTS 8445.19.0040 criteria for cotton-specific ginning to avoid reclassification as general textile machinery
• Include detailed technical manuals and parts lists in documentation to prove it's a complete cotton gin stand, not components
