Import Tips
• Verify galvanization coating weight (e.g
• Class A or B) meets ASTM A475 standards to avoid reclassification as uncoated wire
• Provide mill test certificates confirming steel composition and tensile strength for customs valuation and anti-dumping scrutiny
• Ensure documentation specifies 'ACSR core strand' use to prevent misclassification as general stranded wire
