Import Tips
• Provide chemical compatibility certifications showing suitability for textile dyes to support 8451 classification
• Label with precise dimensions and material composition (e.g
• 316 stainless steel) to meet customs valuation requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as pump parts (8413); emphasize textile dyeing end-use in invoices
