Import Tips
• Provide detailed blueprints showing disk mechanism for chipping to confirm 'chipper' classification over general slicing machines
• Label as 'for wood only' to prevent scrutiny; mixed-material capability requires separate tariff justification
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for safety compliance in woodworking machinery imports
