Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit plating composition certificates (typically 65% copper, 35% zinc) for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure import invoices specify 'tire cord' use to prevent classification as general plated wire
• Check for anti-dumping duties on steel tire cord from specific countries like China
