Import Tips
• Verify strand count and lay measurement per specs to confirm HTS 7312.10.1050 classification; incorrect twist can shift to 7312.10.0505
• Provide mill test certificates proving stainless steel grade (e.g
• 316) and wire diameter under 16mm to avoid reclassification
• Label as 'stranded wire, not rope' to prevent customs disputes over twist definition
