Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming compatibility with specific sewing machine models like Juki or Brother industrial units
• Label packs clearly with system designation (e.g
• 16x231) to distinguish from universal household needles
• Ensure packaging indicates 'for sewing machines only' to prevent reclassification as general pins
