Import Tips

Include spindle speed specifications (typically >20,000 RPM for carbide) to validate tool sharpening classification

Labeling must specify 'for metal tool sharpening' to avoid customs disputes over multi-material capability

For re-import after repair, maintain original import documentation and service records
