Import Tips

• Verify that all components are integral to socket wrench functionality to avoid reclassification as tool sets under 8206

• Include detailed packing lists specifying drive sizes, socket types, and materials for customs valuation

• Label products clearly as 'hand-operated socket wrenches' to distinguish from power tool accessories
