Import Tips
• Submit plasma arc process diagrams and CNC controller specs to justify classification over general tools
• Document metal-specific consumables (e.g
• nozzles for steel) to affirm working metal purpose
• Avoid delays by pre-clearing with CBP on high-power units over 1000A, as they may flag for energy import rules
