Import Tips
• Provide heat resistance certifications and forging cycle data to substantiate hot forming classification
• Label equipment clearly as 'for hot forging only' to prevent customs disputes over temperature capabilities
• Obtain pre-shipment approval if tonnage exceeds 5000 tons, common for large-scale industrial hammers
