Import Tips
• Label packaging clearly as 'woodworking lathe' and avoid generic 'machine tool' descriptions to aid classification
• Obtain BIS export control clearance if the lathe has advanced digital controls that could be dual-use
• Document origin country accurately; Asian-sourced lathes often face higher scrutiny for IP issues
