Import Tips
• Confirm no welding was used in production, as welded gratings fall under different subheadings
• Label sheets with SWL (safe working load) ratings if marketed for flooring to support end-use declarations
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'perforated metal' which leads to Chapter 72 classification
