Import Tips
• Confirm wire diameter and tensile strength specs; low carbon ensures ductility for weaving into mesh
• Labeling must specify plating type and carbon content; pitfall is confusing with hot-dip galvanized under different notes
• Use commercial invoices detailing gauge (e.g
• 12.5 gauge) for customs valuation
