Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• high-chrome steel) and obtain manufacturer specs to confirm classification as a machinery part, not a tool
• Include detailed engineering drawings in documentation to prove it's exclusively for rubber/plastics working machines and avoid misclassification
