Import Tips
• Verify the blade length exceeds 10 inches and is designed for chopping vegetation to confirm machete classification; shorter blades may shift to knife headings
• Provide certificates of origin and material composition to avoid misclassification as a weapon under Chapter 93
• Ensure packaging labels it for agricultural use to prevent scrutiny as a restricted tool
