Import Tips
• Provide material compatibility certificates showing thermoplastic-only use to distinguish from multi-material machines
• Label equipment clearly as 'single screw <6.4cm' and include blueprints in customs filing to speed clearance
• Beware of undervaluation pitfalls; base value on full assembly cost including controls
