Import Tips
• Verify zinc coating thickness and uniformity via ASTM A123 standards to ensure classification as 'plated or coated with zinc'
• Provide mill test certificate confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and diameter measurement of 1.0-1.5 mm
• Avoid misclassification by confirming nonalloy status; alloy steels shift to Chapter 72 headings 7223+
