Import Tips

• Verify the fork's value is documented under 25¢ per unit with commercial invoices to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings

• Ensure stainless steel handle composition meets Chapter 82 base metal definitions; provide mill test certificates if requested by customs

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as part of a knife set, which could shift classification to heading 8215 under chapter notes
