Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'galvanized smooth shank common nails' with gauge and length specs for CBP verification
• Obtain mill test reports confirming round wire diameter under 16mm and galvanization process
• Avoid common error of classifying as 'bright' (uncoated) nails under 7317.00.25, which have lower duties
