Import Tips
• Obtain material test reports (MTRs) proving vanadium >0.1% to justify classification and avoid downgrade to lower-duty subheadings
• Package in protective cases to prevent damage; declare as 'interchangeable drill bits' not sets to prevent set classification issues
• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain HSS tools from specific countries like China
