Import Tips
• Verify needle specifications match sewing machine type (e.g
• industrial vs. domestic) to avoid misclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying size, point type, and material (typically high-carbon steel) for customs clearance
• Check for anti-dumping duties on steel needles from certain origins like China
