Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis report confirming carbon range; CBP often tests medium carbon wire for accuracy
• Specify tin coating thickness and adhesion tests to distinguish from other base metal platings
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims at entry—no duty reduction allowed per chapter note on iron/steel damage
