Import Tips
• Obtain certificates confirming carbon steel composition to support base metal parts classification
• For bulk imports, segregate from single-handed tools to prevent commingling in customs exams
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'lawn tools' which could lead to 8433 classification for machinery parts
