Import Tips
• Document adjustability range (e.g
• 50-500mm gear diameters) to prove specificity to gear hobbing over cylindrical grinding
• Separate from work arbors; importing as set may trigger 'special attachments' classification
• Certify weld quality per machine tool standards (ISO 230) for customs validation
