Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical datasheets showing self-tapping point design and diameter specs to support 7318.14.10 classification
• Ensure screws meet RoHS standards if destined for EU markets; provide compliance certificates during import
• Avoid mixing with wood screws in shipments, as different end-use may trigger separate HTS scrutiny
