Import Tips
• Confirm wire gauge and length match exactly; mismatches can lead to classification under 7317.00.55.15 for different sizes
• Galvanized nails require corrosion resistance certification; test reports prevent customs holds
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain galvanized steel nails from specific countries like China
