Import Tips
• Ensure documentation certifies tin as the coating metal and steel as nonalloy to distinguish from stainless or alloy classifications
• Measure diameter precisely as uncoiled wire; CBP may inspect samples for compliance
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'further worked' if only simple plating; per notes, plating qualifies under 7217.30
