Import Tips
• Verify machine value with commercial invoice to confirm eligibility under the $3,025 threshold; overvaluation can trigger higher duties
• Provide detailed technical specs proving it's for cold drawing metal tubes without removing material to avoid reclassification
• Include end-user certificates if for non-semiconductor use to distinguish from specialized equipment
