Import Tips
• Provide JIS/ISO certification; metric chains often face origin scrutiny due to Asian manufacturing dominance
• Document roller diameter precisely (<16mm wire dimension compliant) to avoid Chapter 73 wire reclassification
• Use HTSUS statistical note references for multi-strand reporting accuracy
