Import Tips
• Verify safe working load (SWL) markings and provide mill test certificates for wire rope strength to meet OSHA and customs requirements
• Include detailed photos and fitting specifications in entry documentation to avoid misclassification as unfinished rope
• Check for country-of-origin rules; many slings require proof of non-counterfeit fittings to prevent duty evasion
