Import Tips

Verify material certification (e.g

AISI 304/316) via mill test reports to confirm stainless steel and avoid reclassification to carbon steel headings

Measure shank/thread diameter precisely (≥6mm) and document with caliper photos, as sub-6mm shifts to 7318.15.2095

Include end-use declarations; industrial fasteners may qualify for duty exemptions under certain FTAs like USMCA
