Import Tips & Compliance

Verify machine width exceeds 4.9m and confirm shuttleless mechanism via technical specs to avoid reclassification to narrower looms

Provide detailed engineering drawings and end-use certificates proving industrial weaving application, not for filament yarn

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is incomplete harmonized system documentation leading to delays
