Import Tips
• Verify compatibility certification with specific 8445 carding machines to confirm 'suitable for use solely or principally therewith'
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use declarations to avoid reclassification as general machinery under 8479
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety if destined for EU markets, common pitfall in textile machinery imports
