Import Tips
• Verify CE marking and compliance with ISO 230 standards for machine accuracy to avoid customs delays
• Include detailed technical specs and end-user certificates to confirm it's not for semiconductor wafer processing
• Prepare for voltage/frequency adaptation documentation as a common pitfall for US imports
