Import Tips
• Verify tool meets ANSI A10.3 safety standards and include certification in import documentation to avoid customs holds
• Declare powder loads separately under HTS 3604 if imported together, as they are ammunition not handtools
• Label with maximum powder load capacity and caliber to comply with CPSC consumer product safety rules
