Import Tips & Compliance

Verify machine specifications confirm use for rubber/thermosetting processing to avoid reclassification to general extruders

Include detailed technical datasheets showing screw configuration and material compatibility in import documentation

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance, as extruders involve high pressures and temperatures
