Import Tips
• Document head diameter vs. shank ratio to distinguish from tacks or brads in customs review
• For coil roofing nails, confirm wire roundness post-forming; deformed shanks may reclassify
• Quarantine regulations may apply if from regions with pest concerns; fumigation certificates required
