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
