Import Tips
• Verify machine width exceeds 30 cm and confirm shuttle-type mechanism to avoid reclassification under power looms (8446.21)
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use certificates to prove it's for fabric weaving, not carpet production
• Ensure CE marking for EU-sourced looms and prepare for machinery safety inspections upon import
