Import Tips
• Ensure the handles are made of base metal and are not 'parts of general use' as defined in Section XV Note 2, which would exclude them from Chapter 82
• Declare the material composition accurately to avoid reclassification
• Keep documentation showing the handles are for cutlery, not other articles
