Import Tips
• Verify the handle is predominantly wood (not plastic or composite) via material certification to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'table forks with wooden handles' and stainless steel composition for CBP review
• Watch for minimum value thresholds; low-value shipments may qualify for de minimis but require accurate HTS declaration
