Import Tips
• Provide heat treatment certificates proving nitriding for thermoset durability to support 8477 classification
• Declare processing temperature ratings (>200°C for thermosets) in invoices to distinguish from thermoplastic screws
• Avoid common pitfalls by bundling with full extruder assembly docs if imported as replacement part
