Import Tips
• Document blade curvature and handle specs to differentiate from secateurs (8201.50) or sickles (8201.40 but specific)
• Bundle with gloves or shears only if not forming a 8215 set to avoid reclassification
• Ensure rust-proofing treatments are declared to comply with pesticide regulations if applicable
