Import Tips
• Verify galvanization meets ASTM A123 standards and include mill test certificates for customs valuation
• Declare exact dimensions and load ratings to avoid reclassification as unfinished plates under 7208
• Ensure proper marking of country of origin as steel grating often faces anti-dumping scrutiny
