Tooling / Machinery / Equipment Shipments
Due to the high value of these shipments, special care should be
taken when moving tools, machinery, and equipment across
international borders. The basic invoice requirements should be
followed keeping in mind the following:
• Confirm the shipping terms including who is responsible to clear
the cargo through Customs.
• For shipments from a non-Tippmann
®
location sent on our behalf,
the shipper should be listed as: Tippmann Sports LLC, c/o (the
shipping location).
• If the tooling or equipment is being sent only for alterations or repairs
and will be returned, please mark the invoice accordingly. Also note
if the work is under warranty.
• For transfer of production equipment, values should be “fair market
values”.
• If no actual sale is taking place, the invoice must be marked: “Value
for Customs Purposes Only”.
• Tooling/Machinery/Equipment moves from Canada to Mexico often
require additional coordination due to the multiple border crossings.
It is always helpful to advise Tippmann
®
’s brokers in advance of the
cargo arriving to ensure a smooth clearance.
