Import Tips
• Verify handle composition with lab tests to confirm nickel content or over 10% manganese for subheading compliance
• Provide detailed value declarations per unit; undervaluation leads to penalties in bulk shipments
• Ensure blades are fixed and overall length measured correctly to avoid reclassification to pocket knives
