Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Verify machine specifications confirm use for metal or cermet finishing to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84 general machinery

โ€ข Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use certificates in documentation to prove exclusion from gear grinding provisions

โ€ข Check for abrasive wheel specifications as they may require separate HTS classification under Chapter 68 if imported together
