Import Tips
• Verify the machine uses automatic drip or pump mechanism for hot water delivery, not manual pour-over, to qualify under 8516.71.0020
• Include detailed spec sheets showing voltage (typically 120V for US), wattage, and pump/drip automation in import documentation
• Label with country of origin, electrical safety certifications (UL/cUL), and capacity in ounces to avoid misclassification as commercial equipment
