Import Tips
• Verify CNC numerical control certification and spindle count documentation to confirm classification under 8458.91.1060
• Include detailed machine specifications, including axis configuration and metal removal capabilities, in commercial invoices
• Avoid misclassification as non-turret lathes by ensuring vertical turret design is clearly evidenced; common pitfall in multi-spindle setups
