Import Tips

Verify material certification (e.g

AISI 304) to confirm steel composition and avoid misclassification as non-ferrous

Include detailed engineering drawings in documentation to prove non-threaded spring design and locking function

Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide cost breakdowns separating washers from bulk fastener shipments
