Import Tips

- Provide engineering drawings showing only permitted machining operations to prevent misclassification as advanced parts

- Ensure invoices specify 'rough casting for [specific machine model]' linking to 8456-8461 headings

- Conduct material testing if requested to confirm cast iron and rule out steel alloy misclassification
