Import Tips
• Verify the tool is not power-operated, as those fall under Chapter 84; provide detailed specs on manual use
• Include material composition certificates (e.g
• carbon steel) to avoid misclassification as machinery parts
• Check for anti-dumping duties on steel products from certain origins like China
