Import Tips
• Obtain tensile strength test reports to support 'stranded wire' classification over plain wire
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling diameter; measure largest cross-section to comply with chapter notes
• Use correct country-of-melt documentation for stainless steel to qualify for preferential tariffs
