Import Tips
• Verify the blade is over 15 cm and permanently attached handle to confirm HTS 8214.90.3000 classification; provide blade/handle specs in documentation
• Include material certificates for stainless steel blade and wood type to meet food-contact safety standards like FDA compliance
• Avoid misclassification as mincing knives (8211) by emphasizing cleaver's broad, heavy blade for chopping in commercial invoices
