Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cermet composition via material certification to confirm classification under 8209; sintered ceramics may shift to 6804
• Ensure inserts are unmounted and sold individually, not pre-attached to tool holders which classify under 8207
• Provide ISO geometry standards in documentation to avoid misclassification as general tool parts
