Import Tips
• Verify the tool's primary function as a hewing tool for agriculture or forestry to confirm classification under 8201.40
• Provide detailed invoices specifying material composition (e.g
• steel head, wooden handle) and intended use to avoid misclassification
• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain steel axes from specific countries and ensure proper country-of-origin labeling
