Import Tips & Compliance

Document operating hours and rebuild date; over 1,000 hours usage typically qualifies as 'used' per CBP guidelines

Include slurry compatibility specs; environmental docs needed for abrasive waste handling

Avoid pitfall of classifying with accessories as a set, which could shift to other headings
