Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying nonalloy steel composition and zinc plating thickness to confirm HTS 7217.30.45 classification
• Ensure wire diameter and coating type documentation; common pitfall is classifying as stainless steel under Chapter 72 heading 7223
• Declare exact tensile strength and gauge to avoid reclassification as concrete reinforcing wire under note (c)
