Import Tips
• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% and zinc coating thickness via mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact wire diameter and tensile strength; common pitfall is misclassifying as higher carbon under 7217.20.45
• Provide evidence of nonalloy composition to prevent shifts to stainless steel Chapter 72 headings
