Import Tips & Compliance

Verify machine specifications confirm use for stone or mineral materials to avoid reclassification to 8460 for metalworking

Include detailed technical manuals and end-use declarations in documentation to prove cold working of stone

Check for CE marking or equivalent if originating from EU; common pitfall is undervaluing multi-axis CNC features
