Import Tips

• Verify cylinder diameter measurement in import documentation to confirm classification under 8447.11.90; exceeding 165 mm shifts to other subheadings

• Provide machine specifications and end-use declaration to avoid misclassification as hosiery equipment under 8447.11.20

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance if destined for EU markets; common pitfall is incomplete technical datasheets
