Import Tips
• Provide OEM specifications confirming EPDM/rubber processing to prevent misclassification as plastic machinery
• Include downstream cooling/vulcanization line details if integrated, as they affect complete machine valuation
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain rubber processing equipment from specific origins
