Import Tips
• Verify blade dimensions and material composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 8211.94.5000 and avoid misclassification as parts of 8208 tools
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'replacement blades for utility knives' and HTS code to prevent holds; ensure no assembly with handles
