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
