Import Tips & Compliance

Require manufacturer's test certificate showing minimum breaking force to validate Grade 43 classification

Color coding (blue) helps identification but not sufficient alone—provide alloy specs

Check for anti-corrosion coating; if galvanized, confirm it doesn't trigger 7315.12.0070
