Import Tips
• Verify machine condition with detailed inspection reports and rebuild certifications to confirm 'used or rebuilt' status
• Include original serial numbers, maintenance logs, and export certificates from origin country for customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as new by ensuring no new parts exceed allowed thresholds; common pitfall is incomplete refurbishment documentation
