Import Tips

• Verify tensile strength and filament count certifications to confirm tire cord designation, as misclassification to general stranded wire can trigger audits

• Include manufacturer specs proving stainless steel composition (e.g

• AISI 300 series) and tire-specific design for CBP compliance

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing in bulk coils without end-use declarations, which may shift to parts of machinery headings
