Import Tips

Verify wire diameter does not exceed 16 mm and confirm one-piece construction to avoid reclassification to other subheadings

Provide mill test certificates showing no coatings, plating, or paint; common pitfall is residual oil mistaken for coating

Label shipments clearly as 'uncoated steel nails' and ensure country-of-melt documentation for steel origin rules
