Import Tips
• Document the knife's hunting purpose with manufacturer specs; generic 'utility knife' descriptions may lead to different classification
• Check for substantial sheath inclusion, as sheath-type knives have separate statistical notes but same heading
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, which could trigger reclassification away from consumer hunting knives
