Import Tips
• Include machine model numbers and gear module specifications in import docs to substantiate gear-specific use
• Watch for reclassification if cutter diameter suits non-gear shaping; provide engineering validation
• Comply with tool steel alloy declarations; pitfalls include undervaluation of high-speed steel content
