Import Tips
• Label components clearly as 'for trash compactors' and include material safety data sheets for the polymer cover
• Check for anti-friction coatings on the ram to ensure they meet FDA standards if used in food waste compactors
• Bundle with installation manuals to demonstrate dedicated use and avoid reclassification as general machinery parts
