Import Tips
• Label product clearly as 'panel bender' with capacity specs (e.g
• max sheet thickness) to avoid reclassification as general press brake
• Provide proof of value including freight costs excluded; audits often challenge low-value claims on CNC equipment
• Check for hydraulic vs electric drive; document energy efficiency for potential EPA considerations
