Import Tips

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
