Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• tungsten carbide) and certify it's specifically for metal-cutting punches to avoid reclassification
• Provide engineering drawings or machine compatibility specs as documentation to prove it's a interchangeable tool part
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; similar-looking parts may fall under cheaper headings if not proven for punching
