Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications match HTS description; provide detailed technical datasheets to CBP for classification
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent safety certifications; common pitfall is misclassifying as injection molding equipment under 8477.10
• Declare energy efficiency ratings if applicable for potential duty reductions under trade programs
