Import Tips
• Submit binding ruling requests for complex CNC configurations to preempt classification disputes
• Document exclusion of non-metalworking features; pitfalls include misdeclared hybrid capabilities
• Arrange for FDA or similar certifications if machine contacts food-grade metals, though rare
