Import Tips
• Label as 'hand reamer for general machining' to distinguish from machine-specific tools; avoid generic 'cutting tool' descriptions
• Provide hardness ratings (e.g
• Rockwell) and flute count in manifests; pitfalls include undervaluation based on small size
• Ensure EU REACH compliance if carbide contains cobalt; test for restricted substances common in import audits
