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
