Import Tips
• Document exact dimensions and shank type; smooth shank must be verified against ring or barbed alternatives
• Avoid common error of classifying as staples (8305) if rectangular head; confirm pointed nail design
• For large shipments, pre-clear with customs on wire source to prevent reclassification
