Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify machine specifications match 'boring-milling' criteria; provide technical datasheets to CBP for classification

• Include CE marking and safety certifications for compliance with U.S

• OSHA standards

• Avoid misclassification as universal machining centers by detailing primary metal-removal functions
