Import Tips
• Label with exact reed width and shuttle type to prevent misclassification as narrow fabric machinery
• Prepare EPA declarations if loom includes electronic controls with hazardous materials
• Budget for disassembly/reassembly costs, as large looms often ship in parts to fit containers
