Import Tips
• Provide knitting gauge (e.g
• 24-48 needles/inch) and max speed specs in entry docs to distinguish from larger production models
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Italian textile machinery; declare country of origin accurately
• Calibrate machine dimensions pre-shipment to ensure cylinder stays under 165mm threshold for this subheading
