Import Tips
• Include interchangeability standards (e.g
• ASME B89.1.10) in invoices to prove commercial quality
• Separate sets from individual pieces in declarations; sets may trigger different statistical suffixes
• Check for carbide tips; if present, note material to avoid reclassification as tool bits under 8207
