Import Tips
• Provide OEM technical manuals demonstrating panel bending mechanism distinct from V-die press brakes
• Label as 'panel bender' not 'press brake' in commercial invoice to prevent automatic grouping under 8462.31
• Check for EU origin certificates; many European panel benders qualify for GSP duty reductions
