Import Tips
• Shim wire often borders on 'parts' classification; provide end-use statements to maintain wire heading
• Ensure chemical surface treatments like phosphatizing are declared if present (may be 'further worked')
• Batch test for carbon content; even slight exceedance reclassifies to higher carbon wire subheadings
