Import Tips
• Verify coating thickness and zinc purity via mill test certificates to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to uncoated wire
• Include detailed plating specifications in commercial invoices to prevent customs disputes over 'other base metals' coating
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel wire; provide country-of-melt documentation to qualify for exemptions
