Import Tips
• Verify tool speed (RPM) and collet size in documentation to confirm rotary metalworking classification and avoid reclassification as a drill
• Include safety certifications like OSHA compliance and noise level specs to meet import standards; common pitfall is missing pneumatic pressure ratings
• Label as 'hand-held pneumatic rotary grinder for metal' to prevent customs disputes over end-use
