Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Include proof of weldability certification; non-compliant material leads to duty reassessment

β€’ Declare total length accurately, as partial reels are common pitfalls for undervaluation claims

β€’ Galvanized versions require separate HTS if coating exceeds 5% weight; test and document
