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
