Import Tips
• 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
