Import Tips
• Labeling must specify nonalloy composition; alloy content > specified limits shifts to 7229 series
• Avoid packaging as finished craft kits - bulk wire spools maintain 7217 classification vs retail sets
• Test for 'further worked' treatments beyond plating (per Chapter note) like enameling, which could move to different subheadings
