Import Tips
• Include engineering specs matching IEEE 1138 or ASTM B498 for ACSR core to support classification and valuation
• Label shipments clearly as 'ACSR core only' to distinguish from complete conductors and avoid Section 232 steel tariffs
• Check country-of-melt origin documentation, as steel wire faces specific anti-dumping duties from certain origins
