Import Tips
• Verify zinc coating thickness and method (hot-dip vs electrolytic) via mill test certificate to confirm 7212.30.5000 classification
• Ensure product width is documented as under 600 mm; mismeasurement leads to reclassification under wider width headings
• Provide coating weight specs (e.g
• G90) to avoid disputes over 'other' zinc plating category
