Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide spindle travel and arm radius specs to distinguish from turret or deep-hole machines during customs review

• Ensure labeling indicates metal removal capability; pitfall is confusion with woodworking drills

• Obtain manufacturer's declaration of conformity for ISO standards to prevent delays in heavy machinery clearance
