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
