Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'manual safety razors' to distinguish from electric models during customs review
• Include material composition (e.g
• stainless steel blades, plastic/metal handle) to confirm base metal parts inclusion
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing high-end razors; use transaction value based on arm's length pricing
