Import Tips

• stainless steel) and ensure tools are not electrically insulated to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'tweezers for electronics repair' to distinguish from medical uses
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese-origin tools and maintain origin certificates
