Import Tips
• Document end-use as agricultural netting; avoid 'industrial screen' claims that could shift classification
• Ensure welds are intact post-shipment; broken welds may classify as non-welded under 7314.41
• Batch test zinc weight per square meter to substantiate coating claim during customs exam
