Import Tips
• Verify screw diameter certification from manufacturer to confirm classification under 6.4 cm or greater subheading
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use declaration to avoid misclassification as smaller screw or multi-screw types
• Ensure compliance with energy efficiency standards; common pitfall is missing CE marking for EU re-export
