Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain OEM certification linking the base to specific 8463 models to prevent reclassification as general castings

Ensure no advanced features like pre-drilled mounting holes that exceed 'machined only for removal of fins' allowance

For semiconductor testing drills, confirm if statistical notes apply for potential duty-free entry
