Import Tips
• Declare exact bed size and weight capacity, as floor-type models often trigger oversized cargo handling and special permits
• Provide evidence of metalworking-only use to prevent reclassification under multi-material machinery headings
• Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from high-risk countries; include origin certificates
