Import Tips
• Label equipment clearly as 'circular knitting machine' with exact cylinder dimensions to prevent Customs queries
• Prepare for valuation scrutiny; related-party transactions common in machinery imports require arm's-length pricing proof
• Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from certain Asian manufacturers; verify with CBP prior to shipment
