Import Tips
• Document the all-stainless construction and food-grade certification (e.g
• NSF) to prevent reclassification as non-cutlery
• Label as 'kitchen cleaver' not 'knife' on packaging to align with 8214 subheading and avoid 8211 scrutiny
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese cutlery; use correct country-of-origin markings
