Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'paper strip collated' with gauge size and intended nailer compatibility to prevent duty errors
• Test paper strip dissolution properties as some adhesives may trigger reclassification to plastic collation
• Include wire gauge certification since dimensions approaching 16mm limit may affect Chapter 73 wire definition
