Import Tips

Provide CAD drawings of machine configuration to support classification as a complete lathe vs. partial assembly

Ensure coolant system documentation meets EPA standards for import; test for leaks pre-shipment

Avoid delays by pre-clearing with CBP via binding ruling for high-value machines over $100K
