Import Tips
• Confirm the shears are two-handed and designed for pruning to qualify for 8201.60.10; if not, they may be classified as other shears
• Provide clear product specifications to CBSA to support the classification
• Be aware that aluminum handles are still base metal under Section XV, so no separate classification is needed
