Import Tips & Compliance

DOT-compliant markings mandatory; import without Grade 70 certification risks seizure for transport use

Declare exact diameter (e.g

5/16") as statistical suffixes may apply for sizes over 3/8"

Avoid common pitfall of classifying with polyester webbing binders—pure chain stays in 7315
