Import Tips
• Verify handle composition via material certification to confirm nickel content exceeds threshold for this subheading
• Provide detailed blade and handle specs in entry docs; misclassification as pocket knives risks penalties
• Avoid common pitfall of importing sets with forks—classify under 8215 if knives equal or fewer than utensils
