Import Tips
• Provide evidence of gear-specific tooling (e.g
• shaper cutters) to distinguish from general planing machines
• Ensure voltage and safety certifications comply with US standards to avoid CBP holds
• Document production capacity; high-volume shapers may trigger additional trade remedy scrutiny
