Import Tips
• Include plating composition certificate; silver-plated items must have base metal core to stay in Chapter 82, not Chapter 71
• Report total separate pieces per statistical note for accurate MFN duty application
• Avoid packing knives disproportionately; chapter note mandates balance for sets including 8211 items
