Import Tips
• Document Phillips drive type and exact gauge in invoices; mismatches can lead to machine screw misclassification
• Test for torque specifications if marketed for specific applications to preempt end-use reclassification
• Bundle in original manufacturer packaging to demonstrate retail intent vs. bulk industrial use
