Import Tips
• Verify compatibility certification with specific lathe models from headings 8456-8461 to avoid misclassification; ensure material composition (e.g
• gray iron) is documented for foundry origin proofs
• Common pitfall: missing machining tolerances specs leading to reclassification as unfinished parts
