Import Tips
• Include photos or diagrams showing the slip joint adjustment feature in import documentation to confirm classification
• Label with country of origin and material composition to comply with marking requirements under 19 CFR 134
• Avoid classifying insulated handle versions under electrical tools; standard slip joint pliers stay in 8203
