Import Tips

• Verify machine specifications including cylinder diameter exceed 165 mm and confirm cylinder/dial configuration via technical drawings for accurate HTS classification

• Obtain manufacturer's declaration on needle type and fabric output capabilities to distinguish from single jersey machines

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is misclassifying based on add-on attachments
