Import Tips
• Document fishing-specific design (flex blade, sheath) to differentiate from kitchen tools under 8211.91
• Certify handle composition as plastic/rubber; synthetic blends must meet subheading criteria
• Avoid bulk packaging without sheaths, as it may reclassify away from sheath-type definition
