Import Tips
• Verify machine value with commercial invoice to confirm eligibility under the $3,025 threshold; overvaluation can shift to higher subheadings
• Provide detailed technical specs proving metal removal capability to avoid misclassification as non-lathes
• Include CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance if destined for EU markets post-import
