Import Tips
• Verify wire diameter does not exceed 16mm to confirm classification under this subheading; measure cross-section precisely
• Provide mill test certificates showing iron/steel composition and round wire origin to avoid misclassification as non-ferrous
• Label packages with exact dimensions and gauge to prevent customs disputes on 'round wire' criteria
