Import Tips

• Ensure the handles are made of base metal and not precious metal, as that would shift classification to Chapter 71

• Verify they are not considered 'parts of general use' under Section XV Note 2, which would exclude them from Chapter 82

• Keep documentation showing the handles are specifically designed for cutlery
