Import Tips
• Verify the blade is fixed and not folding to confirm classification under 8211.95; folding knives go to 8211.94
• Provide detailed photos and material specs showing base metal handle (e.g
• steel/aluminum) vs plastic to prevent reclassification
• Ensure no inclusion of forks or spoons; sets with equal or more utensils classify under 8215 per chapter notes
