Import Tips
• Verify the part is solely for machines of 8462/8463 with documentation proving minimal machining beyond cleaning and defect removal
• Include foundry certificates confirming cast-iron composition and that no advanced finishing like grinding or heat treatment was performed
• Avoid misclassification as finished parts (8466.94.85); common pitfall is over-machining which shifts to 'other' subheadings
