Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Include user manuals demonstrating use solely with dial indicators to distinguish from general magnetic bases

β€’ Certify magnetic strength and material (e.g

β€’ permanent ferrite magnets) in import documentation

β€’ Watch for classification disputes; provide evidence of principal use in manual metrology vs machine fixturing
