Mortise Chisel with Tungsten Alloy Edge

Heavy-duty mortise chisel featuring a cutting edge with over 0.2% tungsten for exceptional hardness and resistance to deformation during precise joinery work in woodworking. The bevel edge design allows for clean cuts in tight mortise joints. Falls under HTS 8205.30.30.00 based on the high tungsten content in the blade.

Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct metallurgical testing if challenged by customs; provide spectrographic analysis proving tungsten levels

Ensure packaging specifies 'for wood only' to distinguish from metal tools and support classification
