Import Tips
• Provide blueprints or operational manuals proving metal removal capability to distinguish from non-tariffed hobby tools
• Declare exact spindle speed and table size in entry docs to support boring-milling function
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; use third-party appraisals for low-cost imports
