Import Tips
• Verify blade is fixed and serrated or not; ensure no sheath to avoid 8211.92 classification
• Provide detailed composition reports for blade and handle materials to confirm 'other' status
• Label as 'steak knives' clearly; avoid bundling with forks to prevent set reclassification under 8215
