Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying zinc coating weight (e.g
• G90) and nonalloy steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact coating method (hot-dip vs. electrolytic) accurately; mismatches lead to CBP scrutiny under zinc coating subheadings
• Watch for antidumping duties on certain galvanized steel origins; check Commerce scope rulings for exclusions
