Import Tips
• Verify CNC numerical control certification and include machine specifications in commercial invoice to confirm classification under 8458.91.10
• Obtain BIS export licenses if sourced from restricted countries; ensure CE marking for safety compliance
• Arrange for specialized freight forwarding due to oversized dimensions; common pitfall is under-declaring spindle power leading to reclassification
