Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify machine specifications confirm it's for flat metal products to avoid reclassification under rolling mills (84.62 note exclusions)
• Include detailed technical manuals and bending capacity data (e.g
• max sheet thickness) in import documentation for CBP review
• Ensure compliance with OSHA safety standards; common pitfall is missing CE marking for EU-origin machines
