Import Tips
• Verify silver plating purity and weight via assay certificates to comply with customs valuation and marking requirements
• Ensure fixed blade construction; folding mechanisms shift to other subheadings
• Label as 'table knife' not 'kitchen knife' to prevent reclassification under 8211.92 or 8211.94
