Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify HSS composition with mill certificates to avoid reclassification as lower-grade steel tools

β€’ Declare bit sizes and materials accurately; mismatches lead to penalties under HTS statistical notes

β€’ Package as individual tools, not sets with non-8205 items, to prevent heading 8215 classification
