Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify 'used or rebuilt' status with detailed refurbishment records and pre-shipment inspection to avoid new machine classification

• Include machine manuals, serial numbers, and hour meter readings in documentation for customs valuation and origin proof

• Watch for pitfalls like missing safety certifications (e.g

• CE marking) which can delay clearance
