Import Tips
• Ensure the machine is declared as a machining centre for working metal, as graphite-only machines may be classified elsewhere
• Provide the manufacturer's technical specifications showing automatic tool change and CNC control to support the classification
• Verify whether the machine is new or used, as used machines may require additional documentation regarding age and condition
