Import Tips

• Label with exact dimensions and cut type (e.g

• bastard, smooth) for valuation and anti-dumping checks

• Separate from rasps in shipments; mixed lots require detailed invoices to prevent reclassification

• Comply with country-of-origin rules; many files from China face additional tariffs
