Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact dimensions with calipers to confirm classification under the <25.4mm length and <1.65mm diameter subheading

Provide mill test reports certifying round wire construction and steel composition to avoid reclassification

Label as 'upholstery tacks' not 'nails' to distinguish from larger construction nails and prevent duty disputes
