Import Tips
• Verify pin dimensions do not exceed 16mm cross-section to stay under Chapter 73 wire definition; larger may shift to 7317
• Include material certificates confirming iron/steel composition to avoid misclassification as plastic or other metals
• Label packaging clearly as 'sewing pins' not safety pins to prevent reclassification under 7319.40.10
