Import Tips
• Document handle alloy composition (e.g
• aluminum >50%) to confirm base metal status and avoid plastic handle codes
• Avoid marketing as 'tactical' if it triggers USML/ITAR scrutiny; classify purely as sporting knife
• Batch imports by model to streamline statistical reporting; note fixed blade in commercial invoice
