Import Tips
• Certify no metalworking conversions (e.g
• no steel chisels) to maintain pure woodworking classification
• Use professional appraisal for customs value on rebuilt machines to prevent disputes over 'used' depreciation
• Package securely with vibration dampeners; declare as rebuilt tooling machine to flag for machinery inspection
