Import Tips
• Adzes are classified as hewing tools under 8201.40.90, so declare the product as an adze, not a general cutting tool
• Ensure the blade is of base metal and the tool is complete with a handle
• If the adze is for shipbuilding, note that Section XVII exclusions do not apply to hand tools
