Import Tips
• Include user manual and specs in shipment to demonstrate it's a metalworking lathe, not a toy or drill
• For benchtop models, confirm no integral milling function to prevent misclassification as combination tools
• Batch imports require per-unit valuation; avoid grouping to maintain sub-$3,025 eligibility
