Import Tips
• Provide mold compatibility and shot weight specs in entry docs to demonstrate industrial thermoplastic use and avoid consumer goods misclassification
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance, as customs may inspect for machinery directives
• Document servo-hydraulic features separately if claiming energy-related tariff preferences or exemptions
