Import Tips
• Verify CNC controls meet 'numerical control' definitions but confirm not under 8458.11 if qualifying as turning centers; provide detailed machine specs and end-use certification
• Watch for misclassification as horizontal lathes under 8458.91; ensure proper valuation excluding software
