Import Tips

• Ensure the blade is not part of a set with knives of heading 82.11 and articles of heading 82.15, as Chapter Note 3 would reclassify it

• Clearly state the blade is for a hand tool, not a machine, to avoid heading 82.08

• If importing from a country with a trade agreement, have the certificate of origin ready to claim a reduced duty rate
