Import Tips
• Certify compliance with ASTM F1505 for insulated tools to pass customs electrical safety checks
• Specify 'cutting pliers type' on manifests but confirm not statistical sheath-type under 8211.92
• Watch for country-of-origin marking; unbranded imports from high-duty nations face scrutiny
