Import Tips
• Include material composition certificates showing steel core galvanization and textile outer layer
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as electrical cable if no insulation for conductivity
• Label shipments clearly as 'not electrically insulated' to prevent Chapter 85 misclassification
