Import Tips

Provide manufacturer's declaration specifying wood as the primary material worked to confirm classification

Include user manual excerpts highlighting wood-specific features like tailstock design during customs clearance

Beware of under-declaring weight; lathes are heavy, and accurate gross weight prevents valuation disputes
