Import Tips

Include heat treatment certificates to substantiate Grade 43 strength claims during customs valuation

Ensure supplier provides dimensional specs (link size, wire dia.) to confirm under 16 mm for correct heading

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'alloy steel' without chromium/nickel content proof, risking reclassification
