Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications match 'hot forming' criteria with temperatures exceeding 500°C to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed engineering drawings and end-use certificates to confirm it's for metal forging, not general pressing
• Check for dual-use restrictions if the press can handle dual-purpose applications beyond standard forging
