Import Tips
• Include CNC control system software specs in entry to confirm numerical control under heading 8457
• Declare accurate machine weight and dimensions for ISF filing; pallet sizes often exceed standard container specs
• Avoid reclassification by providing evidence of metal-specific tooling packages (e.g
• carbide end mills)
