Import Tips
• Submit operation manuals proving it's solely for shearing/cutting, not bending or folding, to stay in 8462.39
• Label components clearly for partial shipments; declare total value accurately to avoid anti-dumping scrutiny on steel-related imports
• Check for U.S. content in assemblies to qualify for duty drawbacks or preferential treatment
