Import Tips
• Provide evidence of wood-specific design (e.g
• blade types, feed rates) to prevent misclassification as general industrial saws
• Include user manuals showing optimization algorithms tailored for wood grain and defect patterns
• Anticipate valuation questions on embedded software costs for optimization features during customs appraisal
