Import Tips
• Verify machine value with commercial invoice to confirm under $3,025 threshold; overages shift to 8462.49.00.40
• Provide detailed specs on punching capacity, metal thickness, and NC control in entry docs for CBP classification
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance; common pitfall is misclassifying as non-NC equipment
