Import Tips & Compliance

Document coating weight (e.g

G90 designation) to prove substantial zinc plating vs. minimal coating

Measure actual width post-coating; contraction can affect <300 mm status

Avoid misclassifying as 'further worked' if only basic plating—no enameling or painting qualifies
