Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the file's interchangeable design for handtools or machine-tools to confirm 8207 classification; provide technical specs if audited

Include material composition certificates (e.g

diamond coating on steel) to avoid misclassification as plain metal tools

Watch for sets exceeding 10 kg; ensure accurate piece counts per statistical notes for reporting
