Import Tips
• Label mesh gauge and opening size clearly; finer meshes under 1-inch may require additional agricultural import permits
• Include galvanization certification to prevent misclassification as painted or plastic-coated products
• Ship in rolls rather than cut panels to avoid duties on fabricated articles
