Import Tips
• Include technical specs like TPI (teeth per inch) and width to confirm bandsaw classification during customs review
• Comply with country-of-origin marking; bi-metal blades often have complex supply chains requiring declarations
• Avoid bulk packaging pitfalls by declaring as 'bandsaw blades' not 'saw parts' to prevent reclassification
