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
