Import Tips
• Provide certificates of origin for carbide tools to qualify for preferential duties under trade agreements like USMCA
• Label shanks clearly to distinguish from drill bits; misclassification as rock drilling tools (8207.19) is a frequent error
• Declare quantity by individual pieces, not weight, as per statistical notes for precise reporting
