Import Tips

• Verify machine value with commercial invoice to confirm eligibility under the $3,025 threshold; overvaluation risks higher duties

• Include CNC control specifications and end-use declaration for semiconductor processing to support classification

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is missing vibration test certifications
