Import Tips

Certify compliance with aerospace standards (e.g

MIL-SPEC) in entry docs to support classification and avoid Chapter 88 aircraft parts scrutiny

Specify strand construction and breaking strength; multi-strand may border on 'wire rod' if not fully drawn

Ensure no cladding or enameling, as 'further worked' per note pushes to other subheadings
