Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing guide bar and warp beam setup to confirm warp knitting classification
• For machines over 3m width, ensure structural certification for containerization and obtain overweight permits
• Label machine components separately if imported disassembled to qualify for lower assembly duty rates
