Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying 304 stainless composition to avoid reclassification as tool steel under note (e)
• Ensure wire diameter and packaging details are documented, as coils over certain weights may trigger different statistical suffixes
• Check for 'further worked' treatments like coating; uncoated drawn wire stays in 7223, coated moves to 7223.00.50
