Import Tips
• Measure diameter precisely - even slight variance over 1.0mm shifts to different subheading with higher duties
• Include tensile strength test results showing high-carbon properties; CBP often requests for spring wire
• Avoid declaring as 'spring steel' without chemical analysis - must prove nonalloy status
