Import Tips

• Verify machine specifications match 'doubling or twisting' function per Chapter 84 notes; provide technical brochures for customs

• Include CE marking or equivalent safety certifications; common pitfall is misclassification as general winding machines (8445.40)

• Declare exact yarn capacity and speed to avoid valuation disputes on used/refurbished equipment
