Import Tips

• Verify material composition (e.g

• HSS or cobalt content) via mill certificates to confirm classification under 8207.50.40

• Ensure tools are marked with size, material, and country of origin; lack of marking can lead to CBP holds

• Avoid misclassification as rock drilling tools (8207.19), which have different rates; specify metal-cutting use in invoices
