Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Document exact cermet grade (e.g

β€’ CT510) to prevent reclassification as tungsten carbide under same heading but different stats

β€’ Confirm unmounted status; pre-sharpened mounted drills go to 8207.50

β€’ Maintain traceability certificates for aerospace-qualified cermets
