Import Tips & Compliance

• Document spindle count and RPM to distinguish from single-spindle (potentially 8459.21)

• Avoid pitfall of classifying as 'units' if includes way-type heads; full assembly determines heading

• Include noise/vibration test reports for EPA compliance on industrial imports
