Import Tips & Compliance

• Document chain tooth material as high-carbon steel to substantiate classification as metal cutter sharpening

• Avoid bundling with chains; sets may classify under 8467 as tool sets if not predominantly the machine

• Check voltage compatibility (110V vs 220V) and include user manual for customs inspection
