Import Tips
• Describe the axe as a hewing tool with a one-sided blade to distinguish it from standard felling axes
• Ensure the blade is of base metal, as required by Chapter 82
• If the axe is antique or over 100 years old, consider cultural property export controls, though this does not affect tariff classification
