Import Tips

Verify Y-axis travel specs in manufacturer documentation to confirm >660mm for HTS 8457.10.00.25; mismeasurement leads to reclassification

Include CE marking and FCC compliance certificates for US customs clearance on CNC machines

Declare full machine value including software licenses to avoid undervaluation penalties
