Import Tips
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance, as woodworking machines face strict OSHA-equivalent scrutiny
• Document material compatibility (wood/cork only) to prevent shifts to plastic-working classifications
• Calculate duties based on CIF value; common pitfall is omitting installation kits from valuation
