Import Tips

• Document the blade's tungsten carbide edge and its specific use in lasting machines to support classification

• Verify if the blade is a 'part of general use' as defined in Section XV note 2, which would exclude it from Chapter 82

• Ensure the blade is not classified as a hand tool, which would fall under a different heading
