Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Submit video demo or operational manual proving chipping function on wood to customs for verification

β€’ Avoid common pitfall of classifying as shredders; chippers produce uniform chips, shredders produce irregular mulch

β€’ Declare horsepower and feed size specs to confirm industrial woodworking use
