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
