Import Tips
• Verify press tonnage and specifications match 'cold metalworking' to avoid reclassification as hot forging equipment
• Provide detailed technical datasheets and end-use certificates to confirm industrial application and prevent misfiling
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is incomplete hydraulic system documentation
