Import Tips

Verify exact mesh count via certified lab test to confirm classification under 7314.14.20.00; finer meshes shift to other subheadings

Provide mill test certificate proving stainless steel composition (e.g

304 or 316 grade) to avoid reclassification

Declare wire diameter and weave type (plain Dutch or twill) in entry docs to prevent undervaluation penalties
