Import Tips
• Verify machine value with invoice and appraisal to confirm eligibility under the $3,025 threshold; overvaluation leads to higher subheading
• Include CNC software specifications and user manual in documentation to prove numerical control and panel bending function
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is missing electrical certifications for US import
