Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure labeling includes power rating and table size to comply with machine tool import regulations

• Provide proof of metal removal function via demonstration videos to prevent misclassification as presses (HTS 8462)

• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls when importing from Asia; use transaction value method with invoices
