Import Tips
• Verify coating composition and thickness via lab testing to confirm base metal plating (e.g
• zinc) and avoid reclassification to uncoated wire
• Provide mill test certificates showing nonalloy steel composition and diameter measurements for CBP compliance
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare accurate weight including coating to prevent penalties
