Import Tips
• Verify diamond content certification to confirm classification as diamond die vs standard carbide under 8207.20.00.60
• Include technical specs and end-use documentation proving wire drawing application to avoid misclassification as jewelry tools
• Check for ITAR restrictions if dies exceed certain precision thresholds for defense-related wire production
