Import Tips
• Verify roll specifications match mill type (hot/cold) for correct classification; misclassification as general machinery parts is common
• Provide detailed engineering drawings and material certifications (e.g
• steel alloy composition) to customs for valuation
• Ensure compliance with API or ISO standards for industrial rolls to avoid delays in heavy machinery imports
