Import Tips
• Verify blade is fixed and not in a substantial sheath to avoid reclassification under 8211.92 for sheath-type knives
• Provide certificates of origin and material composition docs to confirm base metal parts compliance
• Avoid common pitfall of importing with fork sets, which shifts classification to 8215 per chapter notes
