Import Tips
• Include bend radius and throat depth specs in commercial invoice to demonstrate panel-specific design
• Register CNC control system with BIS if containing encryption software; common oversight for imported machine tools
• Avoid bundling accessories that inflate value over threshold; ship tooling separately if needed
