Import Tips

Supply spindle speed and torque specs matching bevel gear generator requirements to distinguish from general lathes

Avoid importing with attached spindles, as assemblies may classify as incomplete machines under 8461

Use HTSUS advisory rulings for complex headstocks to preempt classification disputes
