Import Tips
• Verify the machine is explicitly for woodworking and include technical specs confirming wood-working capability in import documentation
• Ensure CE marking or equivalent safety certifications for powered machinery to avoid customs holds
• Check for voltage compatibility (e.g
• 220V) and declare motor horsepower accurately to prevent misclassification
