Import Tips & Compliance

• Include corrosion resistance certifications, as fishing blades often face moisture; label clearly as 'blade only'

• Use HTS-specific descriptions in commercial invoices to prevent confusion with complete fishing tools

• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics sets; separate blades to dodge set classification rules in chapter notes
