Import Tips
• Test sample collation strength during customs inspection to confirm wire strip integrity for proper classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'wire collated' vs. plastic to prevent misclassification under 7317.00.30
• Obtain advance ruling from CBP on gauge and length specs if exceeding standard dimensions
