Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the machine is not a gear grinding machine, which would be classified under heading 84.61
• Provide specifications showing the edge grinding function to avoid misclassification under flat-surface grinding
• Ensure the diamond abrasives are described as parts or accessories, as they may be classified separately
