Import Tips
• Verify machine's clamp force certification in technical specs to confirm <50 tons classification; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Include detailed process logs proving thermoplastic use (not rubber) and end-product examples in import docs
• Check for CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; avoid pitfalls like missing hydraulic fluid specs
