Import Tips

Verify clamp force certification from manufacturer to confirm classification within 300-750 ton range; mismatches can lead to reclassification

Include detailed technical specs and end-use statements in documentation to prove thermoplastic processing, avoiding broader 'other' categories

Check for hydraulic vs electric variants, as electric models may require additional energy efficiency declarations for customs
