Import Tips
• Include detailed packing lists specifying unit value and stainless steel handle to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Label products clearly as tableware to distinguish from industrial tools, avoiding misclassification
• Check for set composition; if bundled with equal or more knives from 8211, reclassify entire set to heading 8215 per chapter note
