Import Tips & Compliance

Distinguish flat wire from round wire (7315); flat-rolled rectangular section stays in 7220 if <600mm wide

Provide gauge/thickness certifications; thin products often scrutinized for razor blade steel misclassification

Label coils clearly to prevent confusion with further-worked products like polished strip
