Import Tips
• Verify the handle is specifically for knives of heading 8211 via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification as a part under 8211.94
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'base metal handle for cutting blade knife' and exclude any blade attachments to maintain 'other handles' status
