Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications to confirm it meets upright drilling criteria, excluding hand-directed or turret models, with technical datasheets
• Include detailed engineering drawings and operation manuals in documentation to support classification and avoid misclassification as lathes
• Check for CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is overlooking vibration standards for upright models
