Import Tips
• Provide photos and videos demonstrating operation to confirm it's a complete dovetailing machine, not a mere jig
• Label with fiber compatibility (wood only) to prevent reclassification to hard plastics machines
• Watch for undervaluation audits; use third-party appraisals for value documentation
