Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'forestry hand tools' and avoid retail packaging that might suggest toy classification
• Obtain certificates of origin for steel components to benefit from preferential tariffs under trade agreements like USMCA
• Watch for reclassification to 8211 if blade resembles a sheath knife rather than hewing tool
