Import Tips
• Verify CNC control certification and software export compliance to avoid ITAR restrictions on precision machine tools
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use statements in documentation to confirm classification as milling equipment
• Check for dual-use export controls; common pitfall is misclassifying as non-numeric controlled under 8459.59
