Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance, as woodworking machines face strict OSHA-equivalent scrutiny

β€’ Document material compatibility (wood/cork only) to prevent shifts to plastic-working classifications

β€’ Calculate duties based on CIF value; common pitfall is omitting installation kits from valuation
