Import Tips
• Certify tin coating purity and thickness; common error is classifying tinned wire as lead-coated under different subheading
• Provide end-use declaration if for electrical; avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial scrap
• Check for 'further worked' surface treatments beyond plating, which could shift to 7217.30.50
