Import Tips

• Verify dry linen capacity documentation to confirm compliance with the 10kg threshold; exceeding it shifts to HTS 8451.29

• Include machine specifications and end-use certificates proving textile processing application to avoid misclassification as laundry equipment

• Check for CE marking or equivalent if destined for EU markets, and prepare invoices detailing fabric handling features
