Import Tips
• Label the machine clearly as 'for wood only' to prevent misclassification into universal tooling categories
• Provide operator manuals and safety data sheets, as OSHA compliance may influence customs valuation and entry
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no metalworking accessories are included, which could trigger dual-use scrutiny
