Import Tips
• 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
