Import Tips

Verify CNC control certification and include machine specifications in commercial invoice to confirm numerical control for 8460.23.00 classification

Ensure documentation proves use for metal or cermet grinding, not gear finishing, to avoid reclassification to heading 8461

Comply with semiconductor manufacturing notes if destined for wafer processing; obtain end-use certificates for potential duty relief
