Import Tips
• Declare exact metal composition (e.g
• steel with silver plating) as base metal handles qualify, but precious metal dominance may trigger 8215
• Include cutlery pattern certifications if branded to support table knife use and avoid industrial tool misclassification
• Watch for set packaging; per chapter notes, adding utensils changes heading to 8215
