Import Tips
• Verify galvanization meets ASTM A153 standards and provide mill test reports for coating thickness to avoid reclassification
• Ensure plastic collation is integral to the strip assembly; loose nails may shift to 7317.00.55.10
• Include country-of-melt documentation for steel origin to comply with Section 232 tariffs if applicable
