Import Tips

Verify zinc coating thickness and uniformity via lab testing to confirm 'plated or coated with zinc' classification and avoid reclassification

Provide mill test certificates showing carbon content below 0.25% and exact diameter measurement under 1.0 mm for customs compliance

Watch for common pitfalls like insufficient documentation on nonalloy steel composition, which can lead to duty reassessment
