Import Tips & Compliance
• Use independent lab certification for diameter and galvanization thickness to prevent disputes
• Declare as 'other' cordage; pitfall is overstating as 'stranded wire' which has different rates
• Check country-of-origin marking; steel from certain origins may trigger AD/CVD duties
