Import Tips
• Since the FC9000 combines plotting and cutting, be prepared to justify classification under 9017.20.90 by demonstrating its primary function as a marking-out instrument
• If the cutting function is dominant, the CBSA may classify it under cutting machinery in chapter 84
• Include technical specifications and intended use cases in your import documentation to support the classification
