Import Tips
• Verify base metal composition (e.g
• stainless steel) meets HTS requirements; provide mill test certificates for customs
• Ensure forks are not valued over $3/dozen to avoid higher subheadings; declare unit quantity accurately
• Avoid misclassification as cutlery sets; individual forks must not be packed with knives in equal numbers per Chapter Note
