Import Tips
• Submit video demo or operational manual proving chipping function on wood to customs for verification
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as shredders; chippers produce uniform chips, shredders produce irregular mulch
• Declare horsepower and feed size specs to confirm industrial woodworking use
