Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications confirm use for metal or cermet finishing to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84 general machinery
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use certificates in documentation to prove exclusion from gear grinding provisions
• Check for abrasive wheel specifications as they may require separate HTS classification under Chapter 68 if imported together
