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
