Import Tips
• Declare base metal carbon content separately from any coatings to stay in correct nonalloy subheading
• Provide tire industry end-use letters if challenging classification to coated categories
• Inspect for deformation; twisted wire per U.S
• Note (c) could shift to reinforcing bar headings
