Import Tips
• Verify machine value with commercial invoice to confirm eligibility under the $3,025 threshold; overvaluation can shift to higher subheadings
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use certification to avoid misclassification as semiconductor equipment in Chapter 84
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance if destined for EU re-export
