Import Tips
• Provide material compatibility certificates showing exclusive wood processing to maintain classification
• Document hydraulic system pressure ratings as they impact duty-free qualifications under certain trade agreements
• Avoid common pitfalls by labeling machines clearly as 'woodworking only' to prevent misclassification
