Import Tips
• Verify strand count and diameter do not exceed 16mm per Chapter 73 note; provide mill test certificates for steel composition
• Ensure galvanization is declared accurately to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is mislabeling as rope vs. cable
• Include country-of-melt documentation for antidumping checks on steel products
