Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify wire diameter does not exceed 16 mm and confirm round cross-section per Chapter 73 note to avoid reclassification
ā¢ Provide detailed specs on collation type (e.g
ā¢ T-cleat) and gauge in entry docs; common pitfall is mismatch with nailer compatibility claims
ā¢ Ensure country-of-melt documentation for steel articles to comply with Section 232 tariffs if applicable
