Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy composition and flat dimensions to verify HTS 7229.90.10.00 classification
• Ensure documentation distinguishes flat wire from flat-rolled products over 1.5mm thick to avoid misclassification
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel wire; declare country of melt and pour accurately
