Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing tilting mechanism and capacity (>500kg) to prove metallurgy-specific use
• Ensure labeling indicates 'for molten metal only' to prevent reclassification as general material handling equipment
• Obtain pre-shipment inspection for refractory integrity to comply with safety import standards
