Import Tips
• Certify exact diameter measurement (0.25-0.76 mm) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification to adjacent size subheadings
• Provide chemical composition analysis confirming stainless steel status per Chapter 72 notes to prevent duty disputes
• Declare if 'further worked' (e.g
• coated); uncoated drawn wire qualifies here—common pitfall is misdeclaring polished wire
