Import Tips
• Verify machine value with invoice and appraisal to confirm under $1,000 threshold; exceedance shifts to higher subheading
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use certification proving woodworking application to prevent misclassification
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety; common pitfall is missing voltage/frequency documentation for US customs
