Import Tips
• Verify the tool is explicitly for pipe work with manufacturer specs to justify pipe tool classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying jaw size and material (e.g
• drop-forged steel) for customs valuation
• Avoid misclassification as general pliers by highlighting pipe-gripping design in documentation
