Import Tips
• Provide coating adhesion test results if requested, as customs may inspect for genuine cement/resin application
• Declare exact wire cross-section to confirm under 16mm limit per Chapter 73 wire note
• Separate shipments by coating type to avoid averaging duties across vinyl and cement categories
