Import Tips
• Include coating specifications in invoices as paper/plastic covered wire may affect valuation
• Confirm stainless steel grade (e.g
• 304) via mill certificates for accurate Chapter 72 classification
• Watch for reclassification if sold in bulk machinery rather than consumer packaging sets
