Import Tips
• Provide powder tool performance data; importers often overlook tensile strength requirements for duty-free claims
• Use invoices specifying 'powder-actuated only' to distinguish from roofing nails
• Check for anti-corrosion coatings, as galvanized versions may require additional material content declarations
