Import Tips

Verify machine weight does not exceed 25 tons to avoid reclassification under 8456.30.10.30; provide detailed specs

Include dielectric fluid system certifications and comply with electrical safety standards like UL or CE for U.S. entry

Prepare technical manuals and end-user statements to confirm industrial metalworking use, avoiding consumer goods tariffs
