Import Tips
• Document table travel distance (<12 inches typical) to confirm 'mini' status vs full planers in other subheadings
• Include material removal rate specs to validate metalworking classification over wood planers in Chapter 84
• Obtain BIS export control screening if planing capability suggests precision aerospace applications
