Import Tips & Compliance

Document notching die specifications and metal thickness capacity for accurate HTS verification

Avoid common pitfall of classifying as general shearing by emphasizing notch-specific tooling

Require proof of cold operation (no heating elements) to prevent hot working reclassification
