Import Tips
• Include spring quality certifications if marketed as such, but classify by wire form not end-use
• Check for 'further worked' prohibited treatments like enameling—pure base metal plating only
• Bulk coil imports require weight-based declarations; avoid partial damage claims for rust per notes
