Import Tips
• Verify CNC control certification and include technical specs in entry docs to confirm numerical control status
• Ensure machine is for flat metal products only; misclassification as presses risks re-assessment
• Obtain origin certificates as duty rates vary; watch for anti-dumping on steel processing equipment
