Import Tips
• Document tonnage rating (e.g
• 100-500 tons) clearly as it affects valuation and potential quota applicability
• Comply with ANSI B11.2 safety standards; include operator manuals in import documentation
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying used/refurbished presses without proper condition certification
