Import Tips & Compliance

Explicitly declare as 'parts of knives having other than fixed blades' to prevent grouping with complete knives

Comply with U.S. switchblade import bans; certain parts may require ATF approval

Use detailed BOM (bill of materials) to track base metal content for duty calculation
