Import Tips
• Classify as complete water-jet system if imported with cutting table; standalone pumps may require different HTS review
• Provide hydraulic system pressure certifications; DOT may regulate transport of high-pressure components
• Label clearly as 'water-jet cutting equipment component' to prevent misclassification as general industrial pumps
